I help organizations, especially nonprofits, with communications and fundraising strategy and execution.

Through my extensive background in the nonprofit and government sectors (and a wee bit of startup work), and thanks to my upbringing, I’ve developed some valuable traits and skills:

• I’m honest—about my skills, about what I see and think—but not a jerk.
• My non-traditional background and experiences have shaped a unique viewpoint and set of problem-solving skills that help teams reach better outcomes and solutions.
• I can disagree without being disagreeable.
• My work developing my emotional intelligence has made me a very effective communicator, regardless of the audience.
• I listen.
• I ask good questions.
• I’m the go-to “can you research this?” or “do you have this from five years ago?” person.
