Community & Economic Development Strategic Consulting
I work with nonprofits, small businesses, and place-based organizations to strengthen local economies, build organizational capacity, and create lasting community impact.
My approach is shaped by more than a decade of experience across economic development, nonprofit leadership, community revitalization, and civic engagement. I’ve worked in communities navigating growth, instability, disinvestment, and transition—and understand that the strength of a place depends not only on big ideas, but on the institutions, partnerships, and systems capable of carrying them forward.
The work itself is practical: funding strategy, organizational development, partnership building, project management, systems, sustainability, and implementation. But the goal is bigger than organizational performance alone. Strong organizations help make strong communities—and strong communities give people more opportunity to build meaningful, connected lives where they are.
