Loren joined the PSF in November 2021 to grow and diversify the PSF’s base of financial support. Her primary responsibility is working with sponsors, donors, members, grant-awarding organizations, and the Board of Directors to expand the resources available to run our programs and strengthen the long-term sustainability of the PSF. Prior to the PSF, she trained as a lawyer at Stanford Law School, and then changed tack to spend seven years leading fundraising, U.S. operations, and strategic revenue growth for Educate!, a non-profit social enterprise serving youth in Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya. Outside of work, Loren enjoys solving cryptic crosswords, making weird art with friends, writing fiction, and playing with her rescue pup, Penny.
