Created in 1996 by a bipartisan group of governors and business leaders, Achieve is leading the effort to make college and career readiness a priority across the country so that students graduating from high school are academically prepared for postsecondary success.

I have over 32 years of nonprofit management experience and I know the roles and challenges of the nonprofit world. I don’t believe there are “problems” to handle, but rather there are “challenges” to overcome. I have been part of a national nonprofit organization level (Disabled Sports USA, a member organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee), the state level (Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake), as well as at the local nonprofit level (Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna, The Maryland Center for Arts and Technology as well as The Montessori School). This diversity of employment has provided a perspective that few have. At each agency, I have improved the areas for which I was responsible, brought in new supporters, established new systems to improve efficiency, and worked to strengthen existing systems that improved effectiveness. I have served in senior management for most of my career, providing each organization with my nonprofit leadership, nonprofit management, financial management, strategic planning and implementation, business planning, fund development, performance-based management, human resources and entrepreneurial leadership abilities. I have shown and proven my ability to put the needs of the clients and stakeholders first, create relationships with partners and funders, strong ethics and values in the missions of the agencies I have worked for, ability to lead growth while implementing new systems, and recruit and work with board members in a team environment.
