Let’s build what’s next—together.

I partner with education organizations and edtech teams at key moments of growth, transition, and opportunity.

Who I work with…

I do my best work with organizations that are:

  • Scaling their impact and need stronger fundraising or communications strategy

  • Navigating a transition (new leadership, new funding stage, new priorities)

  • Looking to increase visibility, credibility, or influence in the education space

  • Ready to move from reactive work to proactive, aligned strategy

How we can work together…

I work with organizations in a few different ways, depending on your needs and where you are in your growth.

Fractional Strategy Partner

What it is:
Ongoing partnership where I act as an extension of your leadership team, guiding fundraising and/or communications strategy and supporting execution where it matters most.

What this can include:

  • Fundraising and communications strategy development

  • Leadership advising and decision support

  • Oversight of key initiatives and campaigns

  • Team guidance and alignment

Best for:

Organizations that need senior-level thinking and consistent strategic support without a full-time hire.

Strategic Projects

What it is:
Focused engagements designed to solve a specific challenge or unlock growth at a key moment.

What this can include:

  • Fundraising strategy and grant pipeline development

  • Communications strategy and messaging/positioning

  • Campaign planning (thought leadership, media, or growth initiatives)

  • Audience and engagement strategy

Best for:
Organizations navigating a specific opportunity, challenge, or transition.

Advisory & Thought Partnership

What it is:
Ongoing or periodic strategic guidance for leaders who want a trusted sounding board and expert perspective.

What this can include:

  • Regular check-ins and strategy sessions

  • Feedback on plans, messaging, and priorities

  • Support navigating complex decisions

  • Thought partnership across fundraising and communications

Best for:
Leaders who want consistent, high-level guidance without a full project or engagement.

Ready to move your mission forward?

I work with a select number of partners each year to ensure each engagement gets the attention it deserves. If it feels like a fit, I’d love to learn more about what you’re building.
