Description

I help mission-driven organizations shape the future by strengthening their leadership, aligning their talent strategies, and developing the people who will carry the mission forward. 

With a career spanning Fortune 500 companies and fast-growth environments, I bring deep expertise in leadership development and organizational effectiveness to the nonprofit sector. Whether guiding executives through transformational change, building scalable learning programs, or coaching new managers to lead with clarity and confidence, I focus on equipping people at all levels to deliver meaningful results. 

My approach is grounded in strategy, fueled by curiosity, and tailored to the unique needs of each organization. I understand that nonprofits face complex challenges - limited resources, growing demands, and a need to do more with less. That's why I design practical, high-impact solutions that unlock leadership potential, build internal capability, and support long-term sustainability. 

I'm especially passionate about helping organizations: 
  • Build leadership pipelines that reflect the diversity and values of their communities. 
  • Design learning experiences that foster resilience, inclusion, and impact. 
  • Strengthen team dynamics and organizational culture through thoughtful talent strategies. 
Whether you need a thought partner, a facilitator, or someone to roll up their sleeves and deliver, I'll meet you where you are and help take your people and mission to the next level.
