I create strategies that enhance fundraising and messaging to elevate and sustain social impact.
Strategist. Social Change Champion. Word Wizard.
I’m an advancement communications strategist who helps nonprofits grow their impact by integrating compelling, donor-centric storytelling with intentional fundraising strategies. My background spans both marketing and development, which means I understand how to connect mission to message — and message to funding.
At heart, I’m a journalist. I believe stories can change minds, move hearts, and inspire action. I’m especially drawn to work rooted in equity, education access, social justice, and community transformation. Supporting social impact organizations is life-giving work that aligns my talents and skills with these values.
I partner with mission-driven organizations because transformational change rarely happens in isolation. Sustainable impact requires resources, relationships, and strategy.
As a consultant, I step in as an auxiliary member of the fundraising team for a defined purpose — bringing focus, structure, and momentum to revenue efforts that move their mission forward. Even in a limited engagement, the goal is lasting capacity. When an organization is better positioned to sustain its work long after I step away, I know I’ve contributed to change that endures.
Outside of work, you’ll find me riding my Peloton bike, experimenting with a new recipe, engrossed in a page-turning novel, listening to music, or soaking up time with my twin grands.
My Values
Prioritize customer service
I am dedicated to extraordinary customer service and am resolute in my commitment to excellence. I hold myself to the highest standards, which is reflected in deliverables. My brand is your brand!
Embrace strategy as a process
Strategy takes time to build and execute. I believe in intentional, thoughtful planning to ensure we meet or exceed desired outcomes. Every project should be guided by predetermined outcomes, brand and voice, mission and vision.
Sweat the small stuff
The difference between good and great is in the details. I geek out on the nuts and bolts, thinking critically about the larger impact of my work. I am unafraid to ask questions and raise flags to get ahead of obstacles, and I can put my seasoned problem-solver skills into motion if something unexpected nudges its way into the plan.
Show respect for all
In my work with nonprofits, I have witnessed the reality of injustice and inequality. I want to amplify impact and be part of work that changes lives. I value the ideas, experiences and backgrounds that each individual brings to my team, and I work with clients who embrace and celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion in their daily work.
Demonstrate transparency
Transparency, in the form of open and honest communication with my clients, is a priority. If it’s going well, I appreciate the affirmation. If it’s not, I want to know immediately, so I can meet expectations. I believe in 100% honesty in my relationships.
Create change in the world
I am inspired and fulfilled when I’m working for clients that have a mission to create positive change in our world by empowering people to live their best lives, enabling access to resources, or developing pathways to success.
