Her 20 years of experience in fundraising includes leadership roles at Washington Hebrew Congregation; progressive strategy center the Campaign for America’s Future, national network of women environmental philanthropists Rachel’s Network, and the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School. Prior to joining the nonprofit world in search of mission-driven work, she conducted market research for a broad base of clients.

She is the proud parent of an opinionated teenager and energetic labradoodle.  As the daughter of a refugee from Hitler’s Europe, she is grateful for the opportunity to connect HIAS supporters with meaningful opportunities to act on their values.
