Christian brings over 15 years of non-profit operations expertise to his role at Ascension Foundation for Health Equity. His experience across the spectrum of functions – from customer service and data collection to fund raising, donor management, and vendor selection – informs a uniquely integrative approach to his position. In particular, his attention to the human relationships behind the data creates a respectful platform upon which the Foundation and its communities can prosper and grow. 
 
Through his earlier work with organizations such as World Villages for Children and the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, he developed specific skills in prospect identification strategies, data analytics, and data security. Current areas of focus include the development of a top-tier prospect and donor management system and early exploration into a cohesive model for vendor selection and management across Ascension.
