My career started off in the exciting world of college admissions after which I was wooed away to the ever changing world of commercial real estate finance (my question to the principal of the company who had personally sought me out: "what is commercial real estate finance?").

Almost a decade in real estate and I realized that I was making rich people richer but had a burning desire to enrich lives again in the nonprofit sector.

This lead to me creating the first development department for a small nonprofit in New Jersey. My goals were and are always to go bigger, so when a position opened in the west coast regional center for Chai Lifeline, I jumped at the opportunity. The organization is truly one of the most remarkable charities, making life better for so many very sick children on a daily basis. Not a day goes by that I am not inspired!
