What is your role in the Foundations?
I am proud to have been part of the Providence Foundations of Oregon family since 2000. Whether finishing cancer, making hearts stronger, or increasing healthcare excellence in every corner of our state, I am honored to come alongside Providence leaders, caregivers and our donors who share these same goals. As a senior philanthropy officer as well as interim leader of the Foundations at Providence Milwaukie and Providence Willamette Falls, I help people give of their time and philanthropic support where they and we need it most.
Why Providence?
Patients come first in everything we do. Nearly every day, I am reminded by a patient or family member that Providence made them feel like a person, not a number. That has made all the difference.
What do you like to do in your free time?
When I’m not working alongside our donors, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two sons, and our German Shepherd, Dymon. Walking, cooking, watching sports, traveling, and giving time to my church and to the Association of Fundraising Professionals where I serve on our local Chapter Board are among my interests.
