Your organization deserves a story that empowers you to achieve
your mission at a higher level.
​
You can't fund what people don't understand.
​When your organization is aligned around a clear, shared narrative, it shows through stronger donor relationships, successful grants, more confident leadership, and messaging that actually moves people. I serve as a strategic partner to help you get there,
guiding the process of clarifying your story, aligning your team,
and unlocking the kind of communication that drives real results.

How We'll Move Your Organization
Toward It's Boldest Goals
1
We'll uncover what's holding you back.
We begin by listening. Through conversations with your board, staff, and key stakeholders, we uncover what feels disconnected, misunderstood, or off track.
2
We'll create shared understanding and direction.
Next, we name where you’re going and what it will take to get there.
3
We'll equip your team to carry it forward.
We make the work stick by building tools, habits, and communication practices your team can actually use.
What Guides the Work
Co-Creation from Day One
You won’t get a messaging guide written in a vacuum. I partner with you and with the people who matter most to your mission to co-create messaging that feels real, usable, and aligned with your culture and goals.
Narrative as the Thread
Every organization lives inside a story. I help you clarify and strengthen that story into a shared narrative that connects your past, present, and future, and aligns your team around a common direction.
​​
​Change Management Built In
Messaging is one of your most powerful tools for leading change. I bring a change communications lens to every project, helping you navigate transitions, reduce resistance, and build trust.
​

​​
​A Cohesive Ecosystem, Not Just a Tagline
My approach builds an internal ecosystem that connects your purpose, story, language, and actions, so that your external messaging to donors, partners, and funders rings true. Here’s what that looks like:
-
Shared Beliefs: clarity on what you stand for and why it matters
-
Shared Narrative: a co-created story of who you are and where you're going
-
Shared Language: consistent, practical language used across teams
-
Aligned Action: decisions and behaviors that match your purpose
-
External Messaging: communications that reflect your internal reality
When that internal ecosystem is strong, the outside world can feel it. Donors trust you. Staff understand you. Stakeholders believe in what’s next.
​
Human First, Then AI
AI can accelerate your communications, but only when it’s trained on aligned, human-driven thinking. I help organizations build shared understanding first, then use AI, if you're ready, to reinforce and extend the voice you’ve already clarified.
Transformation Through the Process
This work goes beyond memorizing new words or securing buy-in. The process itself is part of the transformation. Through intentional conversations and collaborative workshops, your team begins to think differently, communicate more clearly, and show up with greater alignment. The experience builds trust, sharpens insight, and creates the shared understanding that drives lasting change. The transformation doesn’t happen after the work. It happens through it.
Grounded in Cross-Functional Experience
My methodology is rooted in 20+ years of leading and supporting
nonprofits across:
✅ communications
✅ marketing
✅ brand development
✅ executive leadership
✅ crisis response
✅ change management
✅ fundraising
✅ major gift strategy
That breadth of experience means I bring messaging to life on the deepest level. I understand how it connects to your revenue goals, your team dynamics, your strategic plan, and your community relationships.
-
I’ve sat at the leadership table and helped build the case for change.
-
I’ve led teams through rebrands, funding shifts, and deep culture work.
-
And I know how powerful a shared narrative can be when it’s built with intention and carried forward by your people.
​
Yes, we'll find the right words at the right time. But, more importantly, we'll align your message, your culture, and your strategy so your organization is equipped to grow, adapt, and lead.
