An overview of my work

I provide operations support

I like work that’s like a puzzle - taking a pile of disparate pieces and turning them into something beautiful. I thrive in building systems and working with leaders to create something that make organizations and all of the people who work there work well. That can include anything from writing an employee handbook to procuring the best insurance broker.

I identify gaps and create collaborative spaces to fill them

After over 15 years of working within and in support of the abortion access movement, I have seen a number of ways that direct service workers have had labor fall on their shoulders and how large-scale infrastructure projects can support them. I work to find similar people and create spaces where they feel safe and able to share insights, resources, and knowledge to work together more effectively.

I build up new organizations

I work with start-up organizations (or even ideas of organizations!) to build the operational infrastructure they need to thrive, including strategic planning, budgeting and financial management, platform and vendor identification, procurement and implementation, and fundraising support as needed.

Other things to know about me

I am able to see and understand both the forest and the trees, which allows me to create thorough, expansive, yet attainable strategies.

I’m an excellent sounding board; one of my great joys is offering insights and supports to other leaders.

I have strong aesthetic opinions - I like things to look clean, beautiful and consistent. (I am not, however, a graphic designer.)

I am also a writer. I can write, edit, and revise, especially for external communications, including fundraising materials, handouts, and newsletters. I write with humility, clarity, and conviction.
