I know what you’re thinking—**“Can this person really help me?”** And honestly, that’s a fair question. Whether you’re **leading a nonprofit, managing a team, or trying to bring more structure and productivity into your life**, you’ve got big responsibilities, high expectations, and never enough time. You need someone who **gets it**—someone who understands the challenges you’re facing and has the experience to help you navigate them.
That’s where I come in. I’ve been in the trenches, made the tough calls, and built strategies that actually work. But don’t just take my word for it. Below, you’ll find an outline of the work that I have actually done over the last 12+ years (and am still doing) that tells you exactly why I’m qualified to **help you lead, grow, and thrive**. I encourage you to **ask the hard questions, vet my experience, and make sure I’m the right fit**—because your success, your impact, and your time are too important to waste.
