I work as a Consultant and Strategic Advisor to social impact organizations looking to get in right relationship with data and organizational learning. I bring empathy, joy, and humanity to work that can not only feel lifeless and robotic, but has real potential to cause harm to communities and social justice movements.In early 2019, after five years of working inside of social sector organizations, I founded GV Advisory to work across issue areas to support practitioners to not only design for their data and learning, but to do so in ways that align with organizational values, missions, and principles of equity & justice. Since then, I've supported organizations across focus areas (immigration justice, education reform, reproductive justice, health equity, international development, and trust-based philanthropy) to develop community-centric and values-aligned data and learning practices.The ever-growing lineage of my work includes Black feminist thought (bell hooks, the Combahee River Collective, adrienne maree brown (especially Emergent Strategy & Holding Change), Crass (the band), time spent playing music on sidewalks and makeshift stages across the United States, histories of the archive(s) (Michel-Rolph Trulliot, Lorgia Garcia Peña), and colleagues who have become dear friends and co-conspirators.My favorite description of what can happen when we commit to this work together comes from a past client: "[during this work,] we wrote a love letter to the work and to the communities that sustain it." I love how enlightening this work can be - we can gain clarity together while we build new ways to think, dream, and work.When I'm not working, you can find me playing music and laughing with my friends, loving on my people, and cuddling with my cat, dog, and husband.I want to live in a world where we're all free - where no-one needs to rely on nonprofits and philanthropy to get what they need. But they do - so let's get to work! Find an overview of my services in the 'featured' section of my profile, or at gv-advisory.com/services.
