supporting resilient, equitable Food systems through strategy, collaboration, and storytelling
Facilitative Leader. Strategist. Creator.
thought partner.
I believe in our collective brilliance to do good things. When the right conditions are in place — clarity, trust, shared purpose, and a grounding in place — individuals and teams can grow into their full potential. I partner with clients to create those conditions so their ideas, visions, and communities can thrive.
What I do:
I work with non-profits, universities, government agencies, and regional initiatives to strengthen local economies—especially those connected to agriculture, small businesses, and place-based investment. I help organizations design programs and policies, engage the right audience, facilitate collaboration, and secure funding, so that good ideas move from vision to action and partnerships lead to measurable results.
Approach:
My human-centered practice is grounded in relationship, equity, and respect. I balance process and deliverables, ensuring that projects build trust, value diverse contributions, and celebrate shared progress.
My work often follows natural rhythms: planting seeds, nurturing growth, harvesting insights, and reflecting on the full cycle.
Ways I work with partners
-
I plan and facilitate collaborative processes that help organizations clarify their vision, align leadership and partners, and design practical, fundable strategies for programs, initiatives, or periods of transition.
-
I design and facilitate participatory processes — from research and planning sessions to community conversations and participatory grantmaking — that elevate diverse voices and build shared ownership.
-
I support the formation and strengthening of coalitions, multi-organization networks, and cross-sector partnerships—helping groups build trust, clarify roles, and move from collaboration to coordinated action.
-
I help organizations articulate their purpose, impact, and values through clear communications, compelling grant proposals, and authentic storytelling that resonates with funders, partners, and the communities they serve.
These services are often interconnected—clients may engage me for one area of support or across an entire initiative, from early planning through implementation and funding.
