How It Started
For over fifteen, I’ve worked with foundations, funds, and businesses in various capacities. Throughout this work, I saw a need for consulting that puts people first. I became an independent consultant because my passion is people, and I firmly believe that supporting and motivating people leads to better outcomes for individuals and organizations.
