In this role, Erik has been responsible for managing and maintaining much of the tech used by the Advancement team and helps to support the organization’s fundraising initiatives. With a background in customer service and administration, Erik has leveraged this role to improve how YW Boston tracks and reports fundraising data, improve the systems and tech we use to fundraise, and support the Advancement team with donor relations and event management.

Prior to joining YW Boston, Erik worked at various nonprofit organizations throughout the Twin Cities metro area with program focuses that aligned with many of Erik’s interests – music & arts, migration, community service, and social justice.

In his spare time, Erik is an avid baker of sweet treats, swimmer, world traveler, wannabe yogi, and is constantly trying to improve his fastest time for the NYT mini crossword puzzle (14 seconds is his current record!).
