Book a session

I help nonprofits, small businesses, and leadership teams turn organizational goals into structured action through operational planning, process design, and implementation-focused coordination that helps initiatives move forward sustainably.

With more than 20 years of experience across nonprofit, corporate, institutional, and entrepreneurial environments, I have supported organizations in operations management, business analysis, project management, organizational planning, stakeholder coordination, compliance, fundraising support, and leadership development. My background includes operational leadership and consulting work with national nonprofits, social impact initiatives, arts organizations, entrepreneurs, and cross-functional teams, alongside experience supporting large-scale programs, multi-stakeholder initiatives, and organizational growth efforts. I also bring educational training in business analysis, project management, and I am a certified executive coach.

Help, I’m Stuck: Operations & Leadership Support

Have a goal, project, or idea you want to move forward, but are not sure where to begin? Or maybe something is not moving the way you expected, and you are not quite sure what is getting in the way. Share what you are trying to accomplish and what has been happening. I will review the situation and share where I think it may be most useful to focus first. This might mean identifying an area that deserves closer attention, a question worth exploring, or a practical place to begin understanding
