Current Occupation: Prospect Researcher at UC Berkeley

"My interest in development was sparked interning at different arts organizations and becoming more and more intrigued by the business aspects of nonprofits. I then landed a student position working at the Lawrence Hall of Science, where I was able to quickly learn the ins and outs of running a fundraising operation. Today I work in development as a prospect researcher. I conduct comprehensive research and data analysis that deliver insights on our donors' backgrounds and organizational successes. Looking back on my time in the history of art department, being constantly pushed to examine works with a critical eye and write in a critical voice provided me with one of the strongest foundations in becoming a researcher."
