Before consulting, I spent years working in-house on small nonprofit teams, doing a bit of everything. I'm a generalist who loves to wear all the hats: I've written grants, run annual giving campaigns, built monthly donor programs, set up major gifts systems, and worked on corporate giving. I take that breadth and apply the parts that fit each client best, so no two engagements look the same. It's also what makes interim and fractional work possible, because I can step into whatever a role includes.

My background as a generalist is also how I fell in love with the unglamorous stuff: databases, workflows, the infrastructure that makes everything else possible. When your systems are broken, your fundraising suffers, no matter how good your relationships are, and smaller teams need good systems to carry some of the weight. That's where my systems-first approach took root.

Underneath it all is community and purpose. I believe nonprofits exist to serve and solve: to serve their community in a way that's relevant, respectful, and open to everyone called to contribute, and to solve a problem, fill a gap, or face a challenge.

I've been consulting since 2021, working with Canadian nonprofits in environmental stewardship, equity, and community. That's meant stepping into fundraising roles, working as a fractional fundraiser, and building fundraising plans.
