About me
With more than 15 years of experience leading and facilitating training and professional development for nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, I bring a practitioner-based approach to nonprofit strategy, board development, volunteer management, and community engagement.
Find me currently working on sector-wide learning at the Johnson Center for Philanthropy, teaching GVSU students about volunteerism and the nonprofit sector, and volunteering as Board Chair at Treetops Collective.
Often seeking connection in conversations about 1). well-being in the nonprofit sector 2). IRS Form 990 data 3). cross-cultural community building and 4). leveraging CliftonStrengths (Top 5: Developer, Connectedness, Belief, Responsibility, Empathy)
Research and contributions featured in 11 Trends in Philanthropy, Nonprofit Quarterly, Nonprofit Hub, the WGVU Morning Show with Shelly Irwin, Giving Compass, Learning for Good Podcast, and The Chronicle of Philanthropy
