this work is for women-led and mission-driven organizations that need experienced leadership support—without adding another full-time role or asking leaders to carry even more on their own.

Strategic partnership that holds

the vision when it matters most

who this is for

organizations doing meaningful work with limited margin for burnout.

this work is especially supportive for women-led organizations and teams, small to mid-sized nonprofits and mission-driven entities, organizations navigating transition, growth, or leadership gaps, and leaders who need space to step back without losing momentum.

continuity during transition or growth

when capacity is stretched or leadership is in flux, continuity matters. i step in as interim or fractional leadership to hold vision, stabilize systems, mentor staff, and maintain momentum while teams navigate change.

you gain: steadier operations, supported staff, and confidence that nothing will fall through the cracks.

what does this look like in practice?

across regional initiatives, foundations, and women-led organizations, i’ve stepped in to support moments where clarity, coordination, and steadiness were essential.

this has included:

  • strategic and operational support for regional initiatives

  • project leadership and coordination across jurisdictions and partners

  • interim program leadership during periods of transition

  • strengthening internal systems to support sustainability and growth

each partnership is shaped by context, scope, and need—but always grounded in care for the people doing the work.
