Our Approach
Embedded Partnership
Our approach is a bit of a hybrid. I pair the academic rigor of my Public Policy background (PhD, ABD) with the battle-tested experience of managing multi-million dollar global portfolios. I’m the person who looks at your new grant opportunity and immediately sees how it will impact your team’s burnout rate, your technology needs, and your next audit.
I work best when I’m in the trenches with you. That’s why I focus on Embedded Leadership. By stepping in as an Interim COO or a Fractional Director of Grants, or helping to create a solution to an organizational challenge, I help stabilize your organization during transitions or rapid growth. I don't just fix the problem; I build the "muscle memory" within your team so they can lead with confidence long after our work together is done.
At the end of the day, I’m a "doer" who loves a complex puzzle. Whether we’re navigating the intricacies of federal grants or launching a high-stakes international coalition, my goal is to give you the operational freedom to stay focused on what matters: your impact.
