A Bit About Me
Community service and entrepreneurship have been the center of my whole life. I was raised in a family of hardworking volunteers, philanthropists, and small business owners who opened my eyes and mind to the needs of various communities. This cultivated a curiosity to learn, and a drive to use my skills creatively to make a difference in the lives of others.
I studied International Relations at Bishop’s University/UBC-Vancouver and Non-Profit Management at Simon Fraser University while working with various non-profits across North America. Social service work taught me the importance of viewing every situation in context, and studying social sciences gave me the research and writing skills to do just that.
Having worked both the “frontlines” and “behind the scenes” for non-profits and private corporations, I bring invaluable perspective to every project and piece of writing. I have a deep respect and appreciation for the work my clients do. That is why I work with my clients to understand their needs and stories, always staying true to their voice and mission.
Building Capacity for Mission-Driven Work
With a unique background spanning frontline service delivery and high-level strategic consulting, I support nonprofits, social enterprises, and small businesses to build capacity, secure resources, and amplify their impact. I partner with organizations to strengthen their foundations, clarify their voice, and grow their presence.
