I enjoy the part of the work that happens before a partnership begins—the finding, the connection, and the conversation. There is something rewarding about finding an organization that aligns with your goals, identifying the person who can actually make a conversation happen, and reaching out in a way that feels personal rather than transactional. When partnership opportunities are missed because the right organizations aren’t identified, the right person isn’t reached, or follow-ups stop too early, the problem usually isn’t a lack of opportunities, it’s having someone consistently move the process forward. That is the kind of work I have grown into through my nonprofit experience: identifying relevant organizations, finding the right people, starting conversations, following up consistently, and helping move promising connections toward meetings and partnerships. In my current nonprofit role, I have identified and qualified 200+ organizations and 300+ executives and decision-makers across healthcare, housing, education, workforce development, food security, recovery, faith-based, and community organizations. That work has resulted in secured partnerships with Faith & Recovery Network and Atlantic Outreach Group, through targeted organization identification, decision-maker identification, personalized email outreach, follow-up, and meeting coordination. What I can help you move forward • Identify organizations that align with your goals • Identify relevant decision-makers and stakeholders • Conduct personalized partnership outreach • Manage written communication and follow-ups • Keep partnership and community conversations moving • Engage with community members through social media, comments, and messages • Manage partnership-related inbox communication • Coordinate meetings and appointments • Track opportunities, responses, follow-ups, and next steps • Identify relevant resources, funding opportunities, and community connections • Build organized organization and contact lists • Coordinate simple organizational social media posts and content I’m particularly interested in supporting nonprofits, community organizations, associations, foundations, social-impact organizations, healthcare and education organizations, faith-based organizations, and growing teams where partnerships and community relationships are important. I’m comfortable working with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Google Sheets, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Apollo, Notion, Asana, Trello, Mondaycom, and Calendly, as well as other tools required for a client’s workflow. My focus is to help you find the right organizations, reach the right people, and keep promising conversations moving, without letting good opportunities get lost because no one followed up. If your goal is to build stronger partnerships, expand community connections, or keep outreach opportunities moving toward a clear next step, I can support the process from identification through outreach, follow-up, and meeting coordination.
