Welcome to my profile! With a rich background in leadership roles at prestigious institutions like the National Geographic Society and Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, I bring a wealth of experience in change management, strategic planning, inclusive leadership, community engagement, and cultural transformation. With more than 15 years in the higher education and non-profit sectors, I have experienced every aspect of an organization, including designing new functions, identifying process and policy challenges, forging effective cross-functional and external partnerships and collaborations, problem solving, and navigating personnel challenges. As a former C-suite executive for a global organization, I also have designed global strategies, and I am familiar with the need to foster consistency, while also leaving agility to adapt to the local context.

Let's connect to discuss how I can support your journey in non-profit leadership!

I have worked in nonprofits ranging from 3 people to over 5,000, and understand the unique needs of both both domestic and international organizations. I can help you navigate the changing winds of funding streams, building and coaching an effective team, advocating for a promotion, or even transitioning between the nonprofit and private sectors if you're looking to make a career move. I've made that pivot several times. I am also a skilled negotiator who enjoys giving people the confidence and tools to advocate for themselves while managing the sensitivities of a hiring process. For example, I negotiated a 25% pay increase and 30 weeks of paid parental leave at a nonprofit, and I coached a client to negotiate an additional $150,000/year in equity as they transitioned from consulting to industry.
