Her career spans federal agencies, mortgage banking, nearly a decade as an AP/IB English teacher, and data management at Capital One, where she built Tableau dashboards and worked in Agile environments for a Fortune 100 team.

Deborah is based in the Greater New York City area and works with nonprofits nationally.
When she isn't strategizing about funding, you'll find her walking in nature, exploring Tokyo, listening to jazz, or goofing around with her grandkids.
