RD ADVISING

Whether your organization is in the ideation stage, navigating a complex transition, or gearing up for ambitious new goals, I bring the strategy, experience, and systems needed to move the work forward. I meet leaders and organizations where they are. Sometimes that means serving as a sounding board, and at other times, a strategic partner on execution.

My work primarily focuses on organizations and leaders at the intersection of civic innovation, public leadership, and transformative social impact. I believe these spaces hold the greatest potential for creating lasting change, and my role is to help you design the strategy, infrastructure, and leadership practices that make that change possible.

I bring a blend of lived experience and my core values: courageous leadership, integrity, and bold ideas to reimagining systems that help organizations achieve their goals and scale their impact.

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.
