"My approach to fundraising is simple. I ask for donations assuming that they are going to say yes. I have approximately five years in corporate fundraising with targets at 4M per year. I am very confident in my ability to fund-raise in a simple and non-apologetic way."

"My approach is "You don't know until you ask." I am unafraid of receiving a 'no' because for every few no's, there is a yes waiting!"
