A team in tune with your mission

I’m a builder and doer with a track record of helping nonprofit leaders quickly grow revenue past the $10M mark.

My most productive hour: 5 AM

With 15 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I help social impact-minded leaders like yourself develop and operationalize their marketing and communications strategies to rapidly scale revenue.

Claim to fame: I’ve eaten a meal in the same room as Amy Pohler, Pink, Jane Hamilton, Shia LaBeouf, and Tyra Banks. None of them asked for my autograph.

I am a seasoned nonprofit leader with deep experience in operations, program development and management, fundraising and finance. As CauseMic's Chief Growth Officer, I provide strategic leadership and ensure exceptional delivery of consulting services to our nonprofit partners.

Favorite karaoke song: Paula Abdul - Straight Up

I help our team run like a well-oiled machine and keep everyone on their toes with my immaculate sock collection. I do a little bit of this, that, and everything in between.

Words to live by: "If you stay ready, you ain't got to GET ready!" -RuPaul

I love supporting clients with high-quality visual design, and I care deeply for mission-driven organizations. In particular, I’m passionate about the environment and enjoying the outdoors responsibly.

Weird quirk: I spend hours every week exploring Google Maps.

I bring decades of experience from my previous roles as a senior copywriter and co-founder at an ad agency to reach more nonprofits with CauseMic’s services.

Favorite karaoke venue: inside my car driving on the open road.

Hailing from a background in both nonprofit development and immersive experience design, I’m focused on your Salesforce org: designing intuitive solutions, building automation, training users, and above all, delivering a system that helps your organization meet its goals.

Influencer status: My cat has almost 4,000 Instagram followers... and most of them are other cats. 

I strive to introduce my CauseMic teammates to as many mission-driven organizations as possible. A computer science engineer turned seasoned marketing strategist, I partner with our consultants to understand your challenges and communicate how our team can help you accelerate your growth.

Pack Leader: My husband and I are the proud owners of five dogs and an excessive number of plushies.

With a background in building marketing strategies for Fortune 500 companies, I bring data and creativity together to make your marketing campaigns shine online.

Last Meal: The entire serving dish of Panda Express orange chicken. No rice required.

Designer, developer, and general dilettante—if you need it to be on a computer and/or look good, I've got your back.

We all make mistakes. Sometimes we learn from them: I've played saxophone in a ska band. More than once.

I’m the glue. Translation: I’m your dedicated marketing project manager who ensures your marketing campaigns ⁠— everything from paid media to website redesigns — run smoothly and cohesively.

True confession: I may be mildly lactose intolerant, but pizza is a lifestyle choice.

With an extensive background in nonprofit development operations, I'm dedicated to making sure your needs are met as we move from your Scale Session to your Rapid Growth Plan. In the background, I work to make sure your needs are met without exceeding your budget.

Sharks as pets? I named my dog Finley so I could call her "Fin" — I love sharks! 

I should have more arms for keeping all the balls in the air, but amazingly, I only have two, which it turns out is enough to manage accounting, HR, and operations to ensure you get the best of everything our team has to offer.

After-work hobby: I volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

As your dedicated project manager, I have a knack for anticipating potential problems and finding creative solutions to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.

Red or green salsa? I am a proud Chilanga, born and raised in Mexico City, and red is the only answer to this question. 

I'm the bridge between Marketing and Tech here at CauseMic. I'll cut through industry jargon and ensure your team is able to optimize for your goals within your tech stack.

Step aside, Michelin Guide: Need to know where to eat or drink in Portland? I've got your back.

Just call me your “technology wizard.” From Salesforce and beyond, I manage end-to-end CRM migrations, ESP implementations, integrations of all sorts and for all manner of systems, all the way up to full-scale digital transformation for organizations like yours.

Formerly known as: My nickname in college was Ruthless and Toothless.

I take the axe to corporate-y buzzwords and brand ego because people deserve simple conversation that gets to the point and puts them first. I’ve snapped a lot of pencil tips helping causes reach for the stars. But my favorite challenge is developing the voice for a mission that people can relate to, feel excited to support, and are ready to follow wherever it goes.

Blooper reel: One night while on an unexpectedly bumpy flight, I stumbled and rolled out the open door at the tail end of the plane. I had a parachute, but bouncing my way out and getting my legs tangled in the risers wasn’t part of the plan. My platoon found it hilarious.

Pulling from two decades of leading market research projects for Fortune 100 companies, I help nonprofits identify what motivates their donors to give.

How I refuel: When not nerding out, you can catch me slurping noodles from my favorite Portland food cart or Singaporian hawker stall.

I leverage a strategic and holistic approach to enhance processes, foster stakeholder relationships, and drive successful outcomes. With a communications background, I blend expertise in managing complex projects spanning data management, digital/print marketing, and events.

Obscure Passion: I once watched 66 Nicolas Cage films in one year. 

Born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico, I am your friendly Salesforce implementer. One of my strengths is my ability to find the most efficient and productive path forward as your Tech Specialist, so you can get back to what you do best: growing your nonprofit. In my free time, I enjoy adventurous activities but not nearly as much as I love a good night’s sleep.

Hidden talent: I once slept for 26 hours straight.
