• Director Of Philanthropy

  • Jun 2017 - Present

  I lead the Department of Philanthropy and oversee all fundraising efforts for Deerfield. I also organize volunteers for various on and off campus engagement activities, both ongoing and one-time special events. I plan and execute all donor appreciation events. Establishing the Deerfield Charitable Foundation in 2019 introduced new responsibilities as the staff liaison to a Board of Directors. I work to establish and maintain relationships with local nonprofits for the purpose of serving older adults beyond our resident population. Working with residents, staff, and a board of directors, I actively seek opportunities to provide meaningful support to the Deerfield community through Residents Assistance, Health Care (Innovation and Enhancement), Employee Scholarship Funds, and others.
