about me
Hi! I’m Jenny, a lifelong Marylander who’s proudly called Northeast Baltimore home since 2013. My career in nonprofit development began at Planned Parenthood of Maryland, and I’ve since held director roles at the Center for Hope (formerly Baltimore Child Abuse Center), Maryland Public Television, and currently, the ACLU of Maryland.
As a Certified Fund Raising Executive with a passion for community-centric fundraising, I bring over 15 years of experience to the table. I love what I do—whether it’s major and planned giving, grant writing and management, data analytics, membership, leading teams, corporate giving, or special events, I’ve worn many hats along the way. At the ACLU of Maryland, I lead our development team in crafting personalized donor experiences, securing major gifts, and engaging with our board and supporters to drive our mission forward.
I’m a first-generation college graduate with an M.A. in Community-Based Education & Leadership from Stevenson University, and a B.A. in American Studies with a minor in History from UMBC. My work is fueled by my dedication to building strong, lasting relationships and creating meaningful impact through strategic, thoughtful fundraising.
Outside of work, you can find me exploring Maryland State Park trails with my dog, Birdie, or spending time with my two-legged family.
Thanks for stopping by!
