A firsthand perspective

I’ve been on
your side of the table.

Starting and running a nonprofit is the foundation of my consulting practice.

As the Co-Founder and former Executive Director of First Workings, a New York City nonprofit, I worked across strategy, fundraising, operations, program, and leadership. After leaving my executive role with a move across the country, I continued supporting the organization through major transitions, including leading the full process of hiring and onboarding its next executive director as an advisor and board member.

After years of building and operating a small nonprofit, I shifted to consulting work for nonprofits and social mission organizations across the spectrum - nonprofit, education, ESG, workforce development, and health. I've also provided pro bono consulting services to over a dozen nonprofit organizations in the Denver metro area. With a background in public health and a commitment to equity and opportunity, I bring a practical, community-centered perspective to helping organizations move their work forward.
