"I fell in love with development almost immediately. It's a unique opportunity to help people make an impact with their money in a way that is meaningful to them. I'm really proud to bring my passion for fundraising to PEP, an organization that is hands on with Greenville County Schools and making a direct impact on the lives of teachers and students. I'm so happy to be here!"
