Experienced Development Associate seeking part-time work in the Portland Metro Area. I have worked in various aspects of Development/Fundraising for non-profits since 1998, and hope to continue this work on a part-time basis.

I am available to work Mondays and Thursdays from 9-2, as well as weekends or evenings from home.

If your organization is in need of Development assistance but is not in the position to hire a full-time employee, consider hiring me on a part-time basis to help you achieve your fundraising goals. I have my own laptop with internet access and do not require additional office space.
