Effective fundraising is never just about dollars raised. It is about leadership, trust, clarity, and alignment, especially during moments of growth or transition.

I partner with schools and nonprofits to strengthen advancement efforts by combining strategic insight with practical, hands-on support. My work is grounded in a deep understanding of institutional culture, governance, and the realities facing advancement teams today.

I begin by listening and learning the organization’s goals, challenges, and dynamics, and understanding what success truly looks like for its leadership and community. From there, I help clarify priorities, assess readiness, and identify opportunities for progress, whether the work involves refining a campaign strategy, strengthening an annual fund, supporting a leadership transition, or coaching those responsible for engaging donors and volunteers.

My approach is highly collaborative. I work alongside Heads of School, Presidents, Chief Advancement Officers, boards, and development teams as a trusted partner, providing guidance, structure, and momentum while ensuring the institution’s leaders remain at the center of donor relationships. The goal is not dependence on an external consultant, but confidence, capability, and sustainable progress from within.

Throughout each engagement, I balance big picture strategy with thoughtful execution. I help organizations focus their efforts, engage their strongest ambassadors, and move forward with purpose, always with respect for mission, community, and long-term impact.
