I am so blessed to love the work I do, helping organizations raise money to advance important causes, assess the merits of different programs, and determine new strategic directions. On a personal note, I am a doting godmother, master chef, bookworm and lover of inspirational quotes.

Over a 10+ year career, I have become an expert CRM manager with experience in dashboard design, report building, and compliance in data protection. I have worked with platforms such as power BI and Tableau, and helped nonprofit leaders track, analyze, and display metrics that matter. On the home front, I am wife extraordinaire, mama bear and party planner of the century.

With years of training as a mixed methods researcher and several evaluation projects under my belt, I truly enjoy helping organizations solve for the proverbial “X”. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the university of Texas system, but I appreciate every opportunity to support philanthropic organizations.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_larger=”no”]Perhaps my roles as therapist, fundraiser, researcher, and evaluator at different points in my career have led me to this biased conclusion, but I believe when we ask good questions, we make deeper connections in personal and professional settings. Two foundational questions should guide organizational decision-making “Are we doing things right? Are we doing the right things?” These are the questions that I believe help any and every organization think deeply about their work and come to better conclusions about the next best steps. I would love to bring my passion and commitment to support your good work.
