    As a member of Purdue’s Krannert Executive Education Programs management team, I helped shape the department’s strategic direction for degree, certificate, and custom programs. I engaged with both domestic and global companies and organizations to direct the development, design, and delivery of custom management education programs for companies in a broad range of industries - negotiating contracts, facilitating instructional design, managing budgets, and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders. I’m skilled at leading collaborative processes involving company leadership and subject matter experts to help assess needs and meet client objectives. In collaboration with program managers, I helped increased non-degree revenue by 68% in FY18, developing and directing programs that contributed 64% of total non-degree revenue.

    I led the strategic planning and management of all aspects of the non-profit stations’ fundraising efforts, including annual direct mail giving, on-air fundraising, corporate support, marketing, community events, and major giving. Through the implementation of new initiatives, including restructuring on-air fundraising campaigns and managing the adoption of a new CRM system, I created more efficient processes and exceeded fundraising goals. During my final year, I planned and implemented the 90th Anniversary campaign, during which I solicited and closed on the largest single realized gift in the station's fundraising history.
