I am focused on helping small-shop, human service nonprofits increase their fundraising capacity. With passion and proven expertise, I work alongside Executive Directors and Board Chairs to create actionable plans and tactics that get them excited about fundraising. My happiest clients are ready to learn and participate in organizational strategy, investment thinking, and relationship building. They have a bigger vision for their organization than the status quo but they need a little help to get where they want to be. Please reach out for a free 30 minute consultation.

NPlace is a social platform to connect nonprofit professionals to affordable resources, learning opportunities, networking, clinics and couching. We seek to be the non-bias community and advocate for nonprofit professionals throughout the United States. We believe that we can change the world through collaboration and community!I worked in a business development capacity and wear a lot of different hats on a small start-up team of 3. My goals are to build membership and to create and build business relationships with key stakeholders that can help NPlace and the nonprofits we serve grow and succeed.I loved every minute of working with this fun group. We did a lot of good in a short period of time! I left to pursue my dream of having my own agency.
