With more than 25 years of experience working for charitable organizations, I have been an independent consultant, researcher, and trainer since 2011. My clients have included universities, secondary schools, medical research foundations, hospitals, professional associations, museums, environmental organizations, and global human rights NGOs based in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa.
Earlier in my career, I worked for Harvard University’s Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations, was Director of Development Research at Amherst College, and contributed to fundraising efforts at Bennington College in various capacities including Manager of Research and Director of Advancement Operations. I also spent several years in local elected office, served on three nonprofit boards, and co-founded a rural economic development nonprofit that was recognized by the Massachusetts Senate for its work on behalf of the state’s smallest communities.
I earned an ALB with a social sciences concentration from Harvard University and studied strategic foresight through the Palo Alto-based Institute For The Future. I am thrilled to be part of The Resource Alliance’s 2026 Leadership Programme global cohort.
Currently based in midcoast Maine, I spend my free time trail running and hiking with my dog, kayaking, gravel biking, playing fiddle at sessions and for contra dances, and working on a long-term photography project about volunteerism and community service called “The Helpers: Supporting Neighbors and Building Community in Maine.”
