I was thrilled to join Tampa Prep as the Director of Development in January 2019. When my husband and I started to talk about finally leaving New England winters behind, we never imagined we would find a city, school, and community that would fit our family so well. The vibrancy and warmth of both Tampa and Tampa Prep is palpable and energizing. Professionally, I have been doing development in schools and social service organizations for 20 years. I am proud of the dollars I have helped to raise and also of the relationships I have built throughout my career with parents, alumni, volunteers, donors, and colleagues.

I am lucky to have an incredible group of professionals in the development office. As a team, we are dedicated to engaging, informing, and fostering strong relationships with parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, and other friends. Some of the ways we do this include: organizing volunteer efforts; planning events, both large and small; communicating with past, present, and future Tampa Prep families; raising awareness of the School, its programs and people through social media and the website, and raising funds to ensure that the School continues to be a special place long into the future.

From what I can tell in my short time here, Tampa Prep is fortunate to have many generous and involved members of our community, and we are grateful for each and every one of you. Please reach out via email (kperry@tampaprep.org) or phone (813-251-8481 x4023) anytime if you would like to get involved, discuss a possible gift, or share any thoughts or comments!
