As Chair of the Event Planning Committee and a Development Intern at Planned Parenthood of Michigan (PPMI), I focused on building community, expanding donor engagement, and making fundraising more accessible and inclusive. I worked closely with staff to plan and execute major fundraising events, developed strategies to attract and retain new supporters, and implemented equitable ticketing models that were adopted statewide. Through thoughtful leadership, strategic planning, and a commitment to inclusivity, I help raise over $150,000 annually to support PPMI’s mission.
