Terri Lyman
San Ramon, California, United States
I am a philanthropy professional with experience in the grant-making and the fundraising sides of the equation. I have nearly 15 years in community outreach and engagement . My superpower is that I connect people. You need a plumber? I know one. Want to start your own foundation? Interview a sex worker? Write about the secret lives of chefs? Learn the art of paper-cutting? I know someone. Want to know the very best charities to give to? Got you covered.
In real life, I am the mother to triplets, a tireless volunteer for several causes, jack of many trades, and amateur busybody. I am middle-aged, medium height and weight, average intelligence. I cook fairly well, speak a smattering of Spanish and sew like a bear wearing mittens.
