Experience

The Metropolitan museum of art, Development Assistant for campaign and stewardship

November 2017 - Present

In this current position, I manage groups of Trustees and high-level donors who are active participants in the Development department and work with backend stewardships of donors of $1,500 to $1,500,000 to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. My responsibilities include managing Development Committee meetings, which involves maintaining contact with Trustees and their offices, preparing materials to present at the meetings, and stewarding committee members. The Major Gifts Committee, a group comprised of dedicated donors and Trustees, recently underwent a large restructuring, which I assisted on researching and strategizing. Furthermore, I plan the meeting agendas and steward these donors and their prospects throughout the year. For the “Women and the Critical Eye” annual event now in its 14th year, I oversee and report on all donations relating to the event. In its first fundraising year, the Women’s Event brought in over $350,000 of general operating funds. I manage the event host committee made up of over 150 women, including stewarding and tracking donations, guests, and total participation. During my time at the Museum, I have also volunteered as a translator working on the admissions kiosks and the website, and translating all corresponding copy into French and Spanish. Currently managing two individuals - an intern and a temporary employee.
