Consulting

I work closely with organizations and communities to design individualized research methods and develop tailored strategies. I also support clients with capacity building to ensure that ambitious projects can be implemented and sustained. 

 

My approach prioritizes in-depth qualitative research and stakeholder engagement. I am fulfilled by cultivating honest, trusting, and creative conversations with stakeholders and teams, and have seen in all my work that prioritizing relationship building proliferates the insights produced.

 

My primary project areas:

  1. Feasibility studies and plans for community hub projects and large-scale capital projects

  2. Place-based and industry-specific studies and strategy development for new initiatives

  3. Philanthropic ecosystem studies and investment recommendations

  4. Strategic plans for non-profits and coalitions
