MY STORY

For 20 years, I built a career in corporate marketing leadership, driving strategy and leading high-performing teams. But even as I succeeded on paper, I felt called to work with deeper purpose. Seven years ago, I began serving nonprofits in leadership and board roles and was inspired by the passion and talent I saw across the sector.

I also noticed a common challenge: organizations doing incredible work but struggling to scale strategy, strengthen fundraising, or clearly communicate their impact. I see a disconnect between communications and fundraising. The two should reinforce one another but often operate in silos.

Today, I use my experience to Consult On Purpose. I help nonprofits bring together communications and fundraising to be more impactful. My superpower is lifting up the people around me. Every team I’ve led has grown, advanced, and thrived. That same spirit shapes my consulting approach as I help nonprofits elevate their strategy, strengthen their messaging, and build systems for sustainable growth.

My work is driven by a commitment to expanding opportunities for underserved communities and strengthening the organizations that serve them.
