Strategic Consulting for Nonprofits, Small Businesses, & Place-Based Organizations


I partner with nonprofits ready to build sustainable capacity and drive real economic impact. Through strategic funding diversification, scalable systems, and programs designed for measurable results, we build organizations that strengthen local economies—not just serve communities.

Your nonprofit isn’t just filling gaps. It’s a driver of economic vitality and community resilience. Let’s build systems that reflect that.

Real strategies. Real results. No fluff.

About Me


I’ve spent 13 years learning what actually builds stronger communities: economic development strategies that work + nonprofit business practices that last.

As an Executive Director, I’ve raised over $2 million, revitalized struggling commercial districts, and learned that sustainable impact requires sustainable systems. Now I help local businesses and nonprofits build both.
