In my own words

Matthew

My journey in the nonprofit sector began early, as I started volunteering throughout high school at soup kitchens, homeless shelters, after-school programs, and summer camps.

This early exposure to service shaped my dedication to causes like food insecurity, child development, mentorship, and LGBT rights.

Now, as a Senior Sales Development Representative at DonorDrive, I leverage my passion for these causes by helping nonprofits maximize their online fundraising. DonorDrive has been a leader in the digital fundraising space for over 20 years, partnering with organizations like Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to raise billions of dollars for vital causes. I work closely with nonprofits to implement our advanced platform, turning everyday supports into powerful fundraisers and driving significant impact.

Outside of my professional role, I continue to give back to my community through my work with Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego. As a Big Brother and Ambassador, I mentor and support my "little" and new "bigs", helping them navigate challenges and reach their full potential. This personal commitment to mentorship and child development aligns perfectly with my professional mission at DonorDrive, where I strive to support nonprofits that make a real difference in people's lives.
