I've worked with leaders from Fortune 500 companies, startup CEOs, and nonprofit Executive Directors. I've crossed the table from teams of less than 10 to build lasting relationships with companies of over 10K.
With 15 years of experience of program management and business development, I excel in developing business solutions and leading partnership strategies.
My executive clients have benefitted from my input on pipeline development, stakeholder management, and leading execution. I can easily recognize the challenges you are facing and provide you with results-focused, accessible tactics to help you succeed.
I'm also proficient in web development, setting up hosting services, copywriting and editing, and developing marketing and content strategy. Check out my offerings to learn more or fill out the form at the bottom to get in touch.
My expertise lies in fostering deep stakeholder engagement across the organization, and translating high-level priorities into measurable outcomes. By leading strategic planning, streamlining cross-functional execution, and acting as a proxy for the CEO, I drive collective accountability and momentum on key initiatives, from special projects to board-level communications, producing streamlined, user-obsessed solutions, with a human-focused eye to emerging technologies.
In 2022, I took a little break from full time work to do a software engineering course. I learned the programming languages and technologies I needed to build full stack applications. I've built APIs from scratch, designed with a variety of frontend libraries, and become quite skilled at constructing and managing Node.js backends. Now I'm learning everything I can about web accessibility because I believe everyone should be able to easily use and enjoy the software we build. Not everyone needs a website though, and sometimes the answer is an integration, updating a current software to a new version, or sunseting and transition from one platform to another. My ability to anticipate issues and organize teams around technology transitions make me a helpful addition to any project.
Outside of technology, I have a pretty full CV as well. I've lead teams as big as eight, project-managed events for Fortune 500 companies, and grown program engagement by 200% from year to another. I've worked in higher education, sustainability management, nonprofit management, communications, marketing strategy, and even joined a seed stage startup! I love to write, create content, stream on Twitch, learn in public, and read a wide range of books (over 100 in 2023). I've helped clients launch podcasts, video courses, and write whole curricula. I don't have any secret talents persay, but I am very good at growing vegetables.
Luke is a local therapist serving the LGBTQA+ community. Luke's website is designed with custom styles using the Squarespace CMS. Luke needed an easily editable site and accessible design. I set up the site for them and gave them instructions on how to use it going forward.
When your dad is obsessed with morse code, sometimes the best birthday present is to build him an app to test himself on it. What? Just me? This app allows the user to audibly play up to 15 random characters of morse code. Users can check their answers at the bottom.
A hair salon and community space for the gays and theys. Queer to Stay keeps everyone looking fresh and turns up on the weekend. No one is turned away. The salon wanted a custom site with bright colors and welcoming vision. I think we delivered.
