Bettina brings over 30 years of nonprofit leadership, fundraising wizardry, and strategic vision to the table. She’s raised millions to support youth programs, championed women’s and children’s health, and built cultures of philanthropy that keep organizations thriving. If there’s a way to connect passion with purpose (and funding!), Bettina will find it.
For 20 years, she’s been a fierce advocate for foster youth, working with organizations like the John Burton Foundation, Pacific Clinics, and Edgewood to ensure young people have the support they need to thrive. A former Commissioner on the Status of Women, Campbell Rotary leader and dedicated mentor, she loves developing future change makers and giving back to her community.
But she’s not all business—when she’s not securing major gifts or meeting with stakeholders, you’ll find her on the yoga mat, hiking scenic trails, or hitting the slopes. She also loves spending time with her two children and her recently adopted foster puppy, Bella.
