I can attest that Claudia Is a rare breed of talent that can thread the needle from helping develop strategy all the way to the finest details of execution in areas as diverse as fundraising, business development, events, partner management, and marketing. Claudia is a natural leader and invaluable team player who always kept the team morale high, and provided support and mentorship to various team members across various divisions within the organization.
Claudia inherently understands the importance of having an organized and practical approach to getting the job done, and that a successful effort comes from a solid foundation of understanding not only the whole but the parts that need to be accomplished to get to the whole. She is equally adept at approaching roadblocks or challenges; quickly determining what needs to be done to change course with a level head and a positive attitude.
