Thank you for your interest.

 

When my babies were little, I spent a lot of time volunteering for a charity I loved. Eventually I started raising money for them, so much that they created a job just for me. I spent the next 23 years raising millions of dollars for charities either as an executive director or director of fundraising. I loved it.

 

I built a six figure consulting business and I have helped loads of charities transform their operations, improve their governance structure, shift to a philanthropic culture, build plans and set direction for .

​

I am married to my second husband, which means I've also lived through the break up of my family and the rejection of divorce. I am a mother to two and stepmother to six children and a GRANDMA! I understand the complicated the tension between a dynamic family, a demanding job and the pressure of needing to be the primary income earner.

​

A few other things you may be interest in knowing:

I believe with my entire heart that our communities will thrive if the organizations that serve them thrive. To do that we need to thrive.  Coaching is a tool that can provide the transformation.
