Example Projects
I tailor my services to each client by crafting proposals that connect the goals of a project to my client's mission, budget, and timeline. My projects have varied from intensive 30 hours/week for one month to a longer-term, less-embedded 2 hours/week for 6 months. Below are a few examples of the kinds of engagements I take on.
-
(~30 hrs/week, 1 month) — Supported the launch of a major foundation's new grantmaking processes under a fresh strategic plan. I developed project management systems and migrated them into my client’s chosen project management software, designed checkpoints for senior leaders to approve key deliverables, and designed cross-functional workflows that ensured teams had support and structure to collaborate effectively.
-
(~20 hrs/month, 2 months) — Managed end-to-end content development and speaker logistics for a venture philanthropy organization’s multiple national practitioner conferences, including COO/CFO and enrollment-focused convenings. I analyzed RSVP data alongside industry benchmark data to identify priorities for conference programming, conducted exploratory calls with prospective presenters, developed a mix of sessions that met the needs of my client and their stakeholders, then provided support to presenters as they crafted session materials.
-
(~10 hrs/month, 3 months)
Created and implemented a webinar series and accompanying playbook to support school networks improve spring new family engagement and boost conversion rates to reach public revenue targets.
(~20 hrs/month, 6 months) — Designed and built a comprehensive 15-module e-learning course for a national charter school support organizations, equipping target audience engagement staff with strategic frameworks to reach public revenue targets.
Work I'm Eager to Take On
My career thus far has provided me a rare combination of frontline, operational, and strategic experience across nonprofit development, enrollment/revenue generation operations, and philanthropy; I'm actively seeking projects that tie these threads together in new ways. Here's where I'm most excited to make an impact:
-
Some of my most meaningful work has lived at the intersection of philanthropy and operations. Early in my career I served as a grant writer and development associate, securing $6.6M+ in philanthropic investments and managing funder relationships from cultivation through close. More recently, I’ve completed engagements with philanthropy organizations in grantmaking project management and portfolio member engagement. In other words, I understand what it feels like to navigate a funding cycle from the applicant side and how to design it from the grantee side of the table, too. I know that the quality of grantmaking operations directly shapes what's possible for the communities that funders are trying to serve, and I'm eager to bring both the practitioner empathy and the operational rigor to get the strategy side of the work right, too.
-
Some of the work that energizes me most happens behind the scenes of great professional learning. For Charter School Growth Fund's national convenings, I've recruited and coached 35+ peer presenters across 31 sessions. I love this work and would love to take on more projects that are similar! My engagements have run from the first exploratory conversation with a prospective presenter, all the way to the conclusion of the convening. I also know what makes a session land with its audience: my own expert-facilitated sessions at these convenings have earned an average net promoter score of 9.7/10. I'm eager to partner with organizations that facilitate adult learning experiences and need someone to fully own the process of identifying and preparing their presenters. From the project management skills required to keep submissions on track to the critical eye needed to review decks and artifacts for resonance with an audience, I enjoy turning each session into a lasting resource.
-
Need to make sense of a data set and use it to tell a compelling story to a set of key stakeholders? Put me in, coach! In my capacity as a Director for Rocketship Public Schools, this was some of the work that energized me most. Give me a data set (or even task me with collecting the qualitative/quantitative data myself!), a objective, and the audience for your presentation and I’ll handle the rest. And if you need help figuring out one of those pieces, I’m an energetic thought partner in helping you get from Point A to Point B. I can analyze the data, build a compelling deck, prepare a talk track, and either coach you to present on the topic or present it myself. I have years of experience presenting to C-Suites and Boards of Directors, and I genuinely love every step of this process.

I understand and appreciate the human element that exists as a throughline between strategy, operational infrastructure, and stakeholder partnership; I'm interested in bringing my perspective to roles where the work centers on translating data into decisions, building systems that enable consistent performance, and owning the full arc of a relationship from first outreach through long-term success. At Rocketship, I owned the full sales (enrollment) lifecycle across five regions: setting quotas, managing pipelines, and leading cross-functional teams to hit targets - ultimately growing enrollment over my tenure at a time of national decline. I led a complex CRM implementation end-to-end, from vendor evaluation and pricing negotiation through network-wide adoption, improving lead conversion by 45% and cutting manual reporting time by 60%. Whether the opportunity is oriented toward business operations, revenue performance, or partnerships management, I bring the same mindset: clear accountability for outcomes, a bias toward action, and the operational rigor to make strategy stick.
