My services.

What it is: Meaningful evaluation is a learning-focused process that helps organizations understand what's working (and what's not), strengthen programs, and demonstrate impact.

My approach: I take a utilization-focused, participatory, and culturally responsive approach to evaluation which is designed to serve both your organization and the communities that you support. What this means is that evaluations are designed for the purpose of learning, in a way that is collaborative and responsive to real world contexts. I prioritize qualitative methods, centering storytelling, while blending quantitative data when needed, ensuring that your evaluation is useful, practical and meaningful. 

What it is: A facilitated, collaborative process that helps organizations clarify their vision, mission and values, set priorities, and build a roadmap for impact 

My approach: I use strategic planning as a storytelling process -- helping organizations surface the narratives that shape where they've been, where they are, and where they want to go. My style is facilitative -- not prescriptive -- so board, staff, volunteers and/or community members help shape a plan that they can truly own. Through facilitated conversations and reflective activities, we co-create real goals rooted in real community needs. The result is a plan that is both practical and inspiring, grounded in clear strategy, real capacity and a shared vision. 

What it is: Clear, compelling applications and reports that communicate your story, your impact, and your needs to funders.

My approach: I blend strategic thinking with storytelling to help you communicate who you are, what you do, and the impact you have on the community. I aim to reduce the stress of fund development by offering structured processes and narrative development that highlight your strengths. I also help you build internal practices for smoother reporting and more efficient future applications.

What it is: Programs, strategies, and interventions that strengthen community connections, empower community members, and create inclusive and equitable outcomes.

My approach: My work is grounded in relationships, equity, and listening. I help organizations convene community partners, design collaborative projects, and build approaches that reflect lived experience. Whether you’re building cross-sector partnerships or launching a new initiative, I prioritize trust, shared leadership, and real-world practicality.
