About

Why I Do This Work

I spent 14 years working inside education and family-service nonprofits before becoming a consultant—so I understand the realities of the field. For the past 8 years I've partnered with organizations across the U.S., and I’ve seen a consistent pattern: good leaders and teams work incredibly hard but get trapped in processes that don’t deliver results.I help you break free from what’s not working and shift your time and energy toward practical solutions that actually work. With 20+ years in facilitation, planning, and evaluation, I specialize in cutting through complexity and building systems that get you the most impact for your effort.Equity drives my work. I use data, accessible visualizations, and everyday language so everyone can engage in decision-making. Whether you need support with compliance, strategic planning, or community needs assessments, I focus on the easiest path to meaningful results and the highest value for your effort.
