Coral Bell

Coral is a self-proclaimed CRM whisperer with a love for clean data and well-organized spreadsheets. As Development Operations Manager, she manages the team’s tech stack, streamlines workflows, and makes sure donor engagement isn’t just efficient but meaningful. With a background in fundraising, communications, and nonprofit technology, she’s worked in the nonprofit space since 2014 for organizations like the Junior League of Dallas and Educational First Steps, handling everything from major fundraising events to behind-the-scenes systems that keep nonprofits thriving.

When she’s not crunching numbers at Smuin, she volunteers her expertise to help other nonprofits get their data, systems, and donor outreach in top shape. She firmly believes that a little organization (and a lot of tea) can make the nonprofit world go round.

She holds a BA in Sociology from the University of Texas at Arlington and is a native of the Rio Grande Valley area in Texas.
