My approach.
Say goodbye to dusty action plans, sitting on the shelf waiting to be rewritten in twenty years. Say hello to action-oriented consulting, where we write the plan and then follow through.
All the way from A to Z.
Why me?
Strategic Planning & Visionary Leadership
I think big-picture and excel at guiding organizations through complex challenges with clarity and purpose. Clients turn to me when they’re seeking a strategic, long-term roadmap to drive growth, social impact, and innovation. I help chart the course for lasting success.
Community Building & Stakeholder Engagement
I have a knack for connecting people and fostering collaboration among them, which is ideal for projects that require coalition-building and community engagement.
Economic Development & Grant Strategy
My track record with securing funding and driving economic growth for partner communities and organizations positions me to help you raise money, design impactful projects, and maximize your resources.
Facilitation & Leadership Development
My peers describe me as a facilitator who can inspire, motivate, and align teams. I offer workshops and leadership training, but my greatest joy comes from being embedded in the workplace where I can coach and train leaders at all levels of your organization's hierarchy.
Organizational Storytelling & Branding
Storytelling remains a human skill in the age of AI, and it has never been more important. I have nearly a decade of experience telling stories that align, inspire and build forward momentum across interdisciplinary fields.

A selection of my former clients and projects:
Sunday Creek Horizons
Partner, Vice President of Operations
In 2020, I joined Zack Space and Will Drabold to establish Sunday Creek Horizons as the only for-profit, mission driven consulting firm in Appalachian Ohio. Over four years we grew the firm to a team of 15 and delivered more than $239.8 million in public investment into Appalachian Ohio.
Ohio Energy Conference
Organizer, Fundraiser
I was the lead organizer and association manager for The Energy Coalition of Ohio from 2021 to 2024. My team and I grew an annual conference from a virtual 100 person event to a 450+ attendee event in three years.
Survivor Advocacy Outreach Program
Chief Strategy Officer
I have worked alongside the Survivor Advocacy Outreach Program to develop program strategy around 30+ million in grant dollars and to manage complex communications among diverse stakeholders.
BlueDot Coworking
Founding Executive Director
In order to advance a multimillion dollar historic rehab, I co-created a non-profit organization called BlueDot Coworking. I currently serve as the interim executive director of this organization during our start-up phase, with plans to hire an employee in the spring of 2025.
Athens Armory Revitilization
Lead Organizer, Grant Writer
My team and I partnered with the City of Athens to develop a complex capital stack totaling more than $5 million for the renovation of a historic National Guard Armory located in uptown Athens. This project required pro forma development, grant management and multi-discipline engagement.
