Understand the need
Listen to leaders, staff, and the people closest to the work. Identify strengths, friction, and the decisions that need attention.
For Nonprofits & Community Organizations
Build on your strengths.
Make the work sustainable.
Your organization knows its community and the work that matters. I help strengthen the roles, workflows, and leadership practices that support delivery, and shape a clear case for the resources and partnerships the work needs.
Capacity Building & Storyselling
Support shaped around
your organization.
Bring me in when a growing program needs clearer ownership, staff or volunteers need support, or your case for support no longer reflects the work you do. We agree on the priority together and build an approach your team can realistically maintain.
Build with your team
Develop practical tools in working sessions. Test them against actual workloads, available resources, and the experience you want people to have.
Equip your team to carry it forward
Equip internal owners with training, usable documentation, and a clear way to review progress after the engagement.
What We Can Build
A stronger organization.
A clearer case for its work.
Organizational Capacity
Priorities and operating systems
A needs assessment, prioritized action plan, decision rights, workflows, and a simple rhythm for tracking commitments.
People & Leadership
Staff and volunteer support
Clear roles, onboarding resources, team learning sessions, and feedback practices that help people contribute with confidence.
Storyselling
Funding and partnership narratives
A case for support, program narrative, or partner presentation that connects the need, your approach, available evidence, and the resources required. The story stays in your voice.
Implementation
Turn commitments into delivery
A working roadmap, named owners, milestones, and change-management support for a new initiative, shifting resources, or a season of growth.
Participation in Practice
Listen first.
Design for participation.
My work in care operations, volunteer systems, and belonging taught me to ask whose experience is missing from a decision. We identify barriers to participation, make room for different perspectives, and build around the relationships and strengths already in your organization.
You define success for your community. We agree on what to measure and use feedback to improve the work. When stories include someone’s personal experience, we agree on permission, context, and how they want to be represented.
Relevant Experience
Executive experience.
Practical, personal support.
As a former Chief Strategy Officer at Churchome, I connected strategy, operations, finance, donor development, and people. I designed and built Pastor Chat’s digital care infrastructure from scratch, equipping 90+ staff and 30+ volunteers to support 85,000+ care conversations. I also led execution of Vision Summit donor retreats that helped raise $5.1M across two retreats.
Corporate sales leadership and co-founding Love + Leisure add a practical understanding of how people make decisions, how teams deliver, and how to work within real business constraints.

Typically 2–3 weeks. Interviews and document review, a findings conversation, and a prioritized capacity-building roadmap.
