• Assistant Director of Development

  • Oct 2000 - Mar 2005

  In this senior staff level position, I served as the Annual Giving contact for eight divisions of the University as well as various Hospital departments. Through my employment, I was able to further develop essential business skills in the following areas: management, budgeting, presenting, goal setting, monitoring and reporting, communication with alumni and friends, segmentation and marketing strategy, calculating, graphing and reporting statistics as well as creative writing. I also developed a strong working knowledge of the Microsoft Office suite of programs, particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I learned how to request, segment, and manipulate data sets through our Alumni and Development Information Network. I traveled to a few conferences across the country in order to expand my knowledge about fundraising and share best practices with my counterparts. I was always looking for ways to remain fresh and innovative so that I could make the best recommendations to the divisions and assist them in making the best decisions about their appeals in order to raise dollar and donor levels.
