My Values

Prioritize customer service

I am dedicated to extraordinary customer service and am resolute in my commitment to excellence. I hold myself to the highest standards, which is reflected in deliverables. My brand is your brand!

Embrace strategy as a process

Strategy takes time to build and execute. I believe in intentional, thoughtful planning to ensure we meet or exceed desired outcomes. Every project should be guided by predetermined outcomes, brand and voice, mission and vision.

Sweat the small stuff

The difference between good and great is in the details. I geek out on the nuts and bolts, thinking critically about the larger impact of my work. I am unafraid to ask questions and raise flags to get ahead of obstacles, and I can put my seasoned problem-solver skills into motion if something unexpected nudges its way into the plan.

Show respect for all

In my work with nonprofits, I have witnessed the reality of injustice and inequality. I want to amplify impact and be part of work that changes lives. I value the ideas, experiences and backgrounds that each individual brings to my team, and I work with clients who embrace and encourage diversity, equity and inclusion in their daily work.

Demonstrate transparency

Transparency, in the form of open and honest communication with my clients, is a priority. If it’s going well, I appreciate the affirmation. If it’s not, I want to know immediately, so I can meet expectations. I believe in 100% honesty in my relationships.

Create change in the world

I am inspired and fulfilled when I’m working for clients that have a mission to create positive change in our world by empowering people to live their best lives, enabling access to resources or developing pathways to success.
