Growing up along “Cancer Alley” of the Mississippi River gave me the first clues of environmental uncertainty and disparity. Now, with graduate study in sustainable economic development and over 10 years of communications planning and engagement leadership, I’m melding my passion for sustainable solutions with my business experience.

I strive to encourage the growth of a new, more sustainable economy, whether that's collaborating with community, strategizing with social entrepreneurs, or advancing responsible corporate practices.

So, I help passionate leaders share the good news of solutions to social and environmental challenges. Is that you?

I provide highly collaborative planning and evaluation services including:

Strategic Planning & Analysis: I enjoy leading groups in visioning and strategy-crafting with engaging workshops, clear reports and compelling presentations; Identifying and measuring relevant impact indicators/metrics to tell your story and drive performance; Interviewing stakeholders to capture valuable voices; Scoping, implementing and analyze evaluation research (quantitative and qualitative) for actionable insights.

Leadership Engagement & Advisory: Through public speaking and direct dialogue with executives and stakeholders, I identify and advocate for business strategies and choices that help drive sustainability and impact, execute stakeholder engagement programs, and support partnership efforts with a collaborative team management style.

Communications: Develop key message strategies that embody your values and value; Create thought-leadership content to spread the word; Prepare sustainability/social impact reports; Partner with creatives to develop media and experiential engagement opportunities aligned with your mission or impact business objective.

Project Management & Problem-Solving: Let's apply principles of root-cause analysis to stuck processes so you can identify sustainable solutions. Timing matters, and I'll work collaboratively with you to deliver in a fast-paced, high-demand environment.
