About

My mission is to empower people leading nonprofit organizations to make a greater impact for the missions they serve.

My vast and diverse professional experience enables me to be a strategic partner and coach at a time of strategic growth, transition or inflection. My consulting practice focuses on core issues of organizational effectiveness including strategic planning (facilitating big questions and tough issues); all levels of fundraising (campaign planning/management); and leading planning processes and retreats with boards and executive staff. Let's have a conversation to talk about where you see change and how I can help you and your team set and effectively achieve the goals you're setting to maximize your impact.

I've been involved in nonprofit organizations since my junior year of college.  That's when I first walked into the Office Of University Advancement at the University of California, Irvine to apply for an event intern position.  And, the rest is history!

For thirty years, I've had the privilege of working side by side with AMAZING, PASSIONATE and SMART people in various roles.  Whether they were staff, board, alumni, trustees, corporate CEOs, volunteers, vendors, patients, researchers, physicians or donors they all had one thing in common.  They believed strongly in the mission of the nonprofit they loved.
