The Foundation Center, my employer since 1998, is a philanthropy resource clearinghouse that helps nonprofit organizations find funding. Its Foundation Folders program provides free Web site creation and hosting to private foundations without their own Web presence. I managed the program singlehandedly for 6 years, designing over 75% of the Web sites for the program's 140+ active clients at the time and maintaining all existing sites. I also provided design for the Center's Corporate Giving Online database search tool. In 2006, I transitioned to fundraising in its development department.
	I currently serve on the national Board of Advisors for Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP), whose mission is to support and strengthen the next generation of grantmakers in order to advance effective social justice philanthropy. EPIP accomplishes its mission by organizing its members at the national and local level and providing them with professional development, networking, and leadership skill-building opportunities.
The Young Nonprofit Professionals Network of New York City (YNPN-NYC) is a regional association I belong to that engages and supports its members’ professional and leadership development through networking, mentoring, and educational workshops. I served on YNPN-NYC's Steering Committee for a year — from 2002-2003 — managing its e-mail discussion list, helping to coordinate its social events and educational workshops, contributing content to its newsletter, and laying down some of the groundwork for the creation of its Web site.
	Positive Exposure, a nonprofit organization headed by photographer Rick Guidotti and Dr. Diane McLean, seeks to challenge the stigma associated with difference. Positive Exposure celebrates the richness of genetic variation through photography, interviews, and education. I created this site in 1998 as a freelance project, and continued to maintain it into 2003.
	The National Organization for Albinism & Hypopigmentation (NOAH) is a nonprofit organization that offers information and support to people with albinism, their families, and the professionals who work with them. I served as NOAH's Newsletter Editor from 1997-2000.
I am a former employee of W. W. Norton & Company, a publisher of college texts, electronic ancillaries, and trade books. While working there from 1994-1998, I provided editorial support for several textbooks and technical assistance in producing their accompanying Web-based electronic ancillaries.
PERSONAL LINKS
	Platform one, whose Web site I redesigned, is a local goth-synthpop-darkwave band in which I was formerly one of three members and sang backing vocals (the lead singer has since gone solo). We performed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, were broadcast on alternative radio, and appeared on two dark-electronic CD compilations. Platform one's sound is reminiscent of Wolfsheim, Depeche Mode, Clan of Xymox, and The Cure, among others.
	Albinism in Popular Culture is a site I created to explore the mythology associated with the largely misunderstood genetic condition of albinism. I began it in 1997, and it has continued to evolve as new information becomes available. It was transferred to the National Organization for Albinism & Hypopigmentation (NOAH) in 2006. Since its inception, it has become one of the top 5 sites in search results for "albinism" on the Web. The image at left is Robert Gould's rendition of Elric of Melniboné from Michael Moorcock's The Fortress of the Pearl.
	Champions of the Green Kingdom is a site I made to offer an introduction to various environmental stressors and their causes, empower visitors to counteract them with practical tips on eco-friendly living, and provide links to environmental Web sites and news publications, green businesses, training institutions, and avenues for political involvement. The site hasn't changed much since its creation in 1997, but I periodically check the links for accuracy.
