Prior to joining Great Hearts Academies, Genevieve directed the private school tax credit program at Catholic Education Arizona, launching new marketing plans that resulted in the highest revenue year on record and average gift at that time.
Her love for fundraising began in college at California State University, Fullerton (Bachelor of Arts in Communications) where she served in numerous leadership roles within the fraternal organization Alpha Chi Omega. In 1998 she served as a Leadership Consultant, traveling to over 25 different universities throughout the United States, Genevieve counseled hundreds of collegians on fundraising best practices, recruiting, risk-management, financial responsibility, budget management, community relations and governance. She has embraced the “Be Prepared” motto to fundraising practices which she learned between 1999-2006 while serving as a District Executive, District Director, Development Director, and Director of Development for both the Boy Scouts of America, Orange County Council and Grand Canyon Council.
A native Californian, she spends her summers there by the ocean with close friends and family to re-energize to serve. Genevieve currently resides in Chandler, AZ with her husband of 23 years Kevin who is a firefighter/engineer/paramedic for the Town of Gilbert and is the proud mother of two sons Braydon (17) and Cameron (14).
