Hometown: Denver, Colorado 

Education: Boston University, Bachelor of Arts, English  Job Description: I create strong relationships between CU physician-scientists, researchers, and benefactors who are passionate about new medical discoveries that will improve the health of our community and world. 

Why CU? I’m a third-generation Colorado native, and I always knew I would return to Colorado to raise my children. 

I love enriching people’s lives by connecting them with our brilliant medical staff for health care, showing them the incredible research conducted on campus, and helping them to achieve their philanthropic goals. 

My first fundraising success occurred about 20 years ago when I worked in the financial industry, and in my spare time I organized a benefit cruise around Boston Harbor to support breast cancer research in memory of my mother.
