Nonprofit leadership is a balancing act.

You’re asked to manage both board and staff, handle the crisis of the moment and plan for the future, and make budget decisions to allocate limited resources. You’re asked to wear every hat, make every important decision, and manage every stakeholder. For many leaders, this tall order often leads to overwhelm, uncertainty, and burnout.

You don’t need to do it alone.

I’ve helped hundreds of leaders like you navigate the now, while retaining a strategic vision for the future. I bring 360º insight of the nonprofit landscape to my work in development, communications, coaching, strategic planning, and impact strategy. Together we’ll develop a right-sized plan for your organization and chart a course towards lasting impact.
