I started Courageous Strategies to help mission-driven organizations lead with integrity, act with boldness, and create meaningful impact.

Through this practice, I partner with leaders across different sectors to turn strong ideas into clear strategies and to build the systems that bring those strategies to life. My work combines practical experience with a belief that courage is where transformation begins.

Every engagement is guided by my core values of integrity, boldness, and courage. Together, these values shape how I show up for the organizations I serve and how I help them grow with purpose.

Why Work With Me?

I’ve led a national nonprofit as Executive Director, overseen multi-million-dollar budgets, advised philanthropic institutions, and spoken at colleges and universities, tech companies, and government agencies about social impact and public leadership. Across each chapter, I have helped bold ideas move from vision to execution.
