Problem-solving is my purpose.

I create lasting change. I make big ideas real. I develop teams, systems, and places that inspire.

My work has been featured in:

Strategic Planning

It’s not about ideas. It’s about making good ideas happen. I scale and implement good ideas by building the frameworks that you need for strategic growth. From entrepreneurial to philanthropic, I am most interested in ideas that improve lives. How can I help you get your idea off the ground?

Project and Event Management

I use creativity and accountability to unstick your project plans and make the impossible possible. I’m comfortable tackling your most difficult projects. I love to create engaging spaces. Whether rebuilding a park or programming a plaza – I create place-based solutions.

Leadership Development

Everyone needs an ally. I help you develop the skills, relationships, and habits that will make you the most effective. I’ve worked with young leaders, Boards of Directors, and entrepreneurs to bring order to chaos. Let’s get you moving forward again.
