Evaluator, storyteller, strategic partner, and nonprofit advocate

Strengthening social purpose organizations and those doing the work.

I am an evaluator, storyteller, strategic partner, and fierce nonprofit advocate. I hold a Master’s in Community Development (candidate), an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Sociology from Western University, and a Diploma in Not-for-Profit Management. I am also pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Evaluation to further strengthen the tools and strategies I bring to the organizations I work with.

I have been working in the social purpose sector for over 15 years at local, regional and national levels, most recently managing a nonprofit organization in Southwestern Ontario. I played a central role in developing my city’s first social innovation shared space, launched an education fund in 2020, and have secured over $2 million in funding for nonprofit initiatives.

Currently, my graduate research explores how power and trust shape evaluation and organizations’ ability to capture and share impact.

My areas of expertise include:

Strategy & Growth: Strategic planning, organizational development, capacity building, leadership development

Evaluation & Impact: Utilization-focused, participatory, and culturally responsive evaluation; storytelling and impact communication; strategic use of data for learning and improvement

Grant Writing & Reporting: Proposal development, reporting, and translation of impact into fundable narratives

Community & Collaboration: Participatory community engagement, community development/animation, cross-sectoral partnerships and networks

Social Justice & Belonging: Integrating social justice principles into organizational practice; fostering inclusive and equitable cultures; anti-oppressive and culturally responsive approaches; building belonging across teams and communities
