AAPD Foundation

Paul is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the AAPD Foundation. With his leadership and commitment to bringing dental care to all children, he has helped the AAPD Foundation grow to be the nation’s largest dentist-led charity dedicated to children’s oral health.

Paul has spent more than 36 years supporting nonprofits in his career. He grew up with parents who prioritized his oral health, which drives a lot of his work to this day.

Jasmine oversees our Access to Care Grants from start to finish. She’s the main point of contact for grantees and the main liaison for the Grants and Programs Committee.

Before joining the AAPD Foundation, she worked as a high school graduation coach through AmeriCorps, providing support for high school juniors and seniors. Her aunt is a dental hygienist, so she grew up with a great advocate for her oral health.

Brianna is responsible for donor outreach, maintaining the marketing and fundraising calendar, managing the website and social media, creating marketing materials, and maintaining the database.

Before joining the AAPD Foundation, she worked in politics at the state and local level and spent time as a personal family assistant, where she witnessed the importance of healthy oral habits firsthand.

Celeste provides front line support to individual donors and operational support for the Foundation by ensuring that the Foundation’s donor database is up-to-date and accurate.

Before joining the AAPD Foundation, she worked as an online learning manager. She’s very passionate about using her skills to help children, having spent several summers volunteering with children’s reading programs at her public library.

Kyle cultivates and stewards our wonderful major gift donors. Before joining the AAPD Foundation, he worked as the Annual Giving Specialist at the Field Museum. His dedication to pediatric dentistry stems from his own childhood experience not having the funds for dental care, so he understands the challenges children face when their oral health needs go unmet.
