Leah Hebner, Cohort 12

I had the great priviledge of knowing Tim both as a boss and as a student. While I worked at Saint Mary's, Tim was a mentor and friend. I remember him telling me as a shy newbie to the profession in awe of the extroverted major gifts officers that there was "more than one way to be a fundraiser. You just need to find your own style." He had a brilliance for coaxing the best out of everyone. As I transitioned into a student and came back to Saint Mary's for classes, I always looked forward to seeing him again. He was a teacher, mentor and friend and will be sorely missed.
