During her 17 years at St. Alban’s, she gained a tremendous amount of experience in faculty and student retention, enrollment strategy, financial management, and organizational development. Additionally, she was responsible for developing a robust annual giving campaign and an annual signature fundraising event co-led by the church and school and benefiting both entities. In 2014, she worked with a volunteer committee to spearhead a capital campaign, in partnership with St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, resulting in the renovation and construction of over 3.5 million dollars in facilities.
