What I Do: I lead SPOON's development efforts by cultivating and stewarding relationships with donors and securing funding from individuals, foundations, and corporations. I also oversee our fundraising events and communicate about SPOON's work to help current and prospective supporters understand what we do and why it matters—all in service of advancing our mission.

Background: Before coming to SPOON in 2021, I spent eight years as an Executive Assistant and Catering Sales Coordinator. I have also been a volunteer puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. since I was young. See my LinkedIn profile.

Why I SPOON: When I was 2 years old, I was adopted from Thailand but was underdeveloped due to dehydration and malnutrition. When I first learned about SPOON's mission to serve children who are highly vulnerable to malnutrition, it immediately resonated with me. I am grateful for the opportunity to support SPOON in effecting change by helping improve the lives of 250 million children worldwide who are often overlooked but just as valuable.
