Your mission deserves more
than good intentions.

I partner with education organizations and edtech leaders as a fractional strategy partner across fundraising and communications—bringing clarity, alignment, and measurable results to the work that matters most.

Where we can partner…

Fundraising Strategy & Growth

From early-stage fundraising to multi-year growth planning, I help organizations clarify their funding strategy, strengthen positioning, and build systems that scale revenue over time.

$20K → $1M+ grant revenue growth over six years for one partner.

Communications Strategy & Positioning

I help organizations define their voice, sharpen their positioning, and translate complex work into compelling narratives—across thought leadership, media, and key moments.

~200 media placements and 652M reach from a single campaign.

Community & Digital Strategy

I build the digital infrastructure, content rhythm, and engagement strategies that turn audiences into long-term advocates for your work.

37,000+ educator network built and led statewide.

Real results across the education landscape.

From shaping national conversations on education to building sustainable funding strategies behind the scenes, my work spans a wide range of organizations and challenges.

Every engagement looks different—but the throughline is the same: clarity, alignment, and results that move the work forward.
