Becky brings a relational, team-centered approach to her work as a Senior Vice President at CCS, partnering with organizations to navigate campaigns, planning studies, and moments of growth with clarity and care. Her experience includes campaign planning and management, case development, major gift strategy, growth planning, and board engagement.
Before joining CCS in 2018, Becky worked as a frontline fundraiser in both secondary and higher education. At Loyola University Chicago, she focused on corporate and foundation relations.
