Strategy in Action

I partner with organizations at key moments—when growth, visibility, or impact requires more than execution. Below are examples of how that work comes to life across fundraising, communications, and audience strategy.

Fundraising Strategy & Growth

I help organizations move from reactive fundraising to clear, scalable strategies—aligning funding priorities with long-term goals and building systems that support sustained growth.

  • Advised leadership on foundation, corporate, and individual fundraising strategy—resulting in a 30x increase in annual funding

  • Led grant strategy and execution for multiple nonprofits, including growing one partner from $20K to $200K+ in annual funding within two years

  • Developed funding landscape analyses and strategic recommendations to help organizations focus their efforts and pursue the highest-impact funding opportunities

  • Supported evaluation strategy design to better measure impact and strengthen funder positioning

Communications Strategy & Positioning

I help organizations clarify their voice, align their messaging, and translate complex work into compelling narratives that resonate with the right audiences.

  • Developed strategic communications plans across campaigns, thought leadership, and organizational positioning

  • Shaped and ghostwrote keynote talks and designed executive presentations for CEO-level leaders at major industry conferences including ASU+GSV and SXSW EDU

  • Led content development for annual reports, board materials, and external communications to strengthen stakeholder engagement

  • Developed crisis communications messaging and toolkit templates for an edtech company, protecting brand reputation during critical moments

  • Produced policy briefs, learning overviews, and advocacy materials to influence education stakeholders

Community & Digital Strategy

I design the systems and strategies that connect organizations to their audiences—turning awareness into engagement and engagement into long-term trust.

  • Built and executed content and engagement strategies across social, email, and web for organizations ranging from local to national in scale

  • Led website strategy and overhauls for multiple organizations, improving clarity, usability, and conversion

  • Designed and implemented content calendars aligned to strategic priorities and audience needs

Advisory & Special Projects

I also work with leaders navigating pivotal moments, bringing senior-level perspective to decisions that require more than execution.

  • Developed policy recommendation overviews and learning briefs to inspire policymakers, professional learning providers, and teachers to explore innovative approaches to continuing education

  • Advised on the closure and transition of a statewide nonprofit, ensuring continuity and preservation of key resources
