ABOUT

I've spent my career in the social impact space because I want to live my values in every part of my life, including my work. I believe in a more just and inclusive world, and what I do as a communicator is part of how I help to realize that future. The organizations I work with are trying to do something that matters. Getting their communications right isn't just a business problem, it's a mission-critical one.

I came to consulting after nearly 15 years in-house at nonprofits in Canada and the United States. I loved that work, but I kept seeing the same pattern across the sector: capable, committed communications teams stuck in cycles of tactics, without the capacity or expertise to build the strategic foundation that would let them work differently. I wanted to help organizations break that cycle. Consulting turned out to be the right way to do it.

I come into organizations quickly, understand what's at play, and build things flexible enough to work in the real conditions nonprofit communications teams operate in. I'm not delivering a template. I'm working out what this organization actually needs and building toward that.

I've built communications functions from scratch, led teams through leadership transitions and digital transformations, and developed the messaging and operational systems organizations needed to move into what came next. I hold a Master's in Professional Communications and trained formally in strategic communications and change at the University of Ottawa's Professional Development Institute.

I work with nonprofits and social impact organizations in Canada and the United States. If your organization is at a turning point, I'd love to talk.
