Change Management
Change is essential for growth — but navigating it well takes intention, structure, and trust. I help organizations design and implement transformative changes that align with their mission and bring their values to life in meaningful, lasting ways.
I begin by helping teams clarify the “why” behind the change. From there, I work with them to co-create a strategy for buy-in, design any necessary shifts in organizational structure, and build out the processes and supports needed to make the change stick. Whether it’s a policy shift, a new operational model, or a culture transformation, I guide teams through the complexity with a steady hand and a people-centered approach.
Past Success Stories

Cross-Functional Budgeting Committee – Created and facilitated a cross-functional committee to promote more equitable, shared decision-making around school budgeting.
Budget Development & Project Planning
I help organizations transform big ideas into practical, actionable plans. By developing budgets that reflect your values and strategic priorities — and pairing them with clear, detailed project plans — I make sure your vision doesn’t just stay on the page, but comes to life in the real world.
My approach ensures your team has the clarity, structure, and resources needed to succeed, while making budgeting more approachable for program managers and team leaders.

Workforce Development Apprenticeship Program – Developed the project plan and supported the implementation of a local workforce development agency’s inaugural early childhood educators apprenticeship program, laying the foundation for long-term success in the sector.
Strategic Partnership Development
Partnerships hold incredible potential — but without the right foundation, they can falter before they even begin. I have seen this play out firsthand from multiple lenses - first as a non-profit non-profit leader seeking to develop partnerships, then as the Director of Partnerships for the Boston Public Schools working to coordinate partners, and now, as a consultant working with organizations to deepen their partnerships. I help organizations design and sustain partnerships that are strategic, high-quality, and built to last.
Whether you're collaborating across sectors or aligning with new initiatives, I work to ensure that every partnership is rooted in clarity, shared purpose, and mutual benefit. My approach centers on intentional relationship-building, thoughtful design, and a deep understanding of what makes collaboration both effective and equitable — so your partnerships don’t just look good on paper, they drive meaningful outcomes and long-lasting relationships.

Process Improvement
I specialize in transforming tangled workflows into seamless systems. Through detailed analysis and hands-on collaboration, I help organizations uncover inefficiencies, eliminate bottlenecks, and implement smart, scalable, sustainable improvements.
Whether you're looking to fine-tune a single process or revamp operations across departments, my approach is practical, data-driven, and tailored to your goals. From small teams to whole organizations, I bring clarity and structure where it matters most — so you can focus on growth, innovation, and what you do best.

System Roll Outs
Rolling out a new system is about more than just software — it’s about people, processes, and change. I help organizations successfully implement new tools and technologies by building thoughtful, inclusive roll-out strategies that prioritize input, buy-in, and long-term adoption.
From planning to execution, I work closely with your team to develop work plans that are clear, manageable, and aligned with how your organization operates. By centering user experience and engaging stakeholders early, I help ensure new systems are embraced — not resisted — and integrated fully into daily work.
