    Do you run a nonprofit organization but find yourself facing challenges in strategic planning and overcoming obstacles? I’m here to help you! With over two decades of dedicated service in the for-profit and nonprofit sector – leading strategic planning, operations management and employee development across multiple industries – numerous businesses and organizations of all sizes have benefited from increased efficiency and effectiveness, employee engagement and fundraising success. Benefiting from my experience as a seasoned Director of Business Management allowed companies such as HP, Inc, Terry Reilly Health Services, and Rotary Clubs to successfully develop strategies and objectives to address key opportunities and issues, enabling them to enter new markets and to embrace new operational models. Your nonprofit business will gain from my ability to make a plan, problem solve and navigate obstacles. Through engaging and equipping employees and volunteer community service teams at HP, Inc, United Way, Rotary Clubs, and a wide range of other community agencies, these organizations leveraged local projects such as the Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity and Earth Day to revitalize employee engagement. Your nonprofit can capitalize on my experience in building sense of purpose with employees and in growing community connections. Through designing and executing award-winning fundraising programs at organizations such as United Way, National MS Society and Rotary Clubs, these nonprofit organizations had increased ability to achieve their missions and serve their communities. Your organization will be well served by my experience with fundraising campaigns, helping your mission thrive. In all these ways, I'm passionate about sharing my expertise with you.

We'll align your organization's goals with a well-defined roadmap to success. • Problem-Solving: With a keen attention to detail and a knack for problem solving, finding the root causes and creating long-term solutions that address them has helped organizations like Ada County Highway District design transportation projects to optimize for safety and usability for bicycle riders and pedestrians. • Operational Efficiency: Nonprofits often struggle with resource allocation and budget management. My work with the United Way’s Healthcare Vision Council leveraged outcomes-driven operational model assessments, resulting in sound grant funding recommendations. Using these types of quantitative and qualitative analysis, your organization will benefit from optimizing your operations for maximum impact and making the most of your resources. • Heart to Serve: Deeply committed to the non-profits engaged in community service, your mission becomes my mission. I'm committed to helping you make a difference in the world. That includes Career and Life Coaching to ensure you find the fulfilled and balanced life you deserve. ****Travel Planning for Active Adults**** My specialized travel planning is for active adults who want to explore the world while staying active and healthy.
