When I'm not helping nonprofits create transformational fundraising events, I'm building community through Purpose-Driven Professionals St. Pete - a demonstration of how strategic event planning creates authentic professional connections.
I launched Purpose-Driven Professionals St. Pete because I keep meeting incredible nonprofit leaders, social entrepreneurs, and mission-driven business owners who are all working in silos.
What we're building together:
Monthly gatherings where genuine connections happen naturally
A community for local change-makers and nonprofit professionals
Conversations about mission and impact that lead to real collaboration
Join us for authentic networking that strengthens St. Pete's nonprofit community and creates meaningful partnerships.
When I'm not helping organizations bring people together professionally, I'm doing it personally too!
