About
Founder. Advocate. Grantmaker. Strategist.

My story
Two decades at the intersection of leadership, strategy, and systems change.
My career weaves together legal advocacy, systems change, executive management, governance, coalition building, academia, journalism, fundraising, grantmaking, and leadership development. The clients I advise benefit directly from the hard-won lessons and wisdom I’ve gained across these ecosystems.
For 20+ years I have founded and grown mission-driven organizations and justice-centered coalitions. Along the way I’ve partnered with funders on grantmaking strategy, risk management, and movement-level planning. I know this work intimately from multiple angles.
Now a certified executive coach and strategic advisor, I work with changemakers who are ready to stretch and grow — not only their institutional impact but themselves. I love partnering with leaders who understand that the personal is relational is organizational: who we are, how we connect, and what we co-create must be aligned.
I encourage clients to prioritize their wholeness and joy, and I walk my talk with daily meditation, retreats, surfing, dancing, and play.
My approach
Grounded in rigor. Guided by love.
My practice is informed and inspired by intersectional feminism, matriarchal leadership, reproductive justice, anti-oppression, liberation, and mindfulness frameworks and thought leaders.
When we lead from love — for the communities we center, the people we work alongside, and ourselves — we function with integrity, compassion, and conviction.
