You’re in the Right Place if…
You’re a nonprofit leader who wants your fundraising to be based on relationship, purpose, and trust.
You light up at the intersection of wisdom, heart, and strategy.
You believe in doing this work in a way that feels authentic and vulnerable.
You know there are no silver bullets—you’re here for thoughtful, courageous growth.
You don’t want a consultant who drops in with a slide deck—you want a true partner who will walk alongside you, help you see clearly, and build something real.
You care deeply. You’re carrying a big vision. And you want to fundraise and lead in a way that feels aligned—with your mission, your values, and your humanity.
If this is you, I’m so glad we found each other!
Let’s co-create something powerful.
My Approach
Working with me means stepping into a relationship rooted in trust, warmth, and integrity. I don’t do transactional. I do transformational.
Here’s what you can count on:
I embrace you wherever you’re at in your journey, whether you’ve been doing this work for 6 months or 6 years.
I help you build what matters most at a sustainable pace.
I freely share my proven tools and templates so that you don’t have to re-create the wheel.
I jump in and get my hands dirty, offering not just strategy but also just-in-time, done-for-you work you can use NOW.
I create space for reflection and celebration. We’ll pause. We’ll get curious. We’ll grow.
I offer accountability with kindness.
I create space for real talk, meaningful work, and the kind of partnership that honors your brilliance and expands your capacity.
