I’m a project and portfolio leader who helps mission-driven organizations turn complexity into clarity so people, programs, and communities can thrive. For 25 years, I’ve worked across public sector, nonprofit, tribal, education, and community-based environments, building systems that make work more coordinated, compliant, and human.

​

As a PMO Director and principal consultant, I specialize in designing structures that scale: intake and prioritization, grant and project tracking, cross-functional policies, stage gates, DARCI/RACI, procurement, change control, data visibility, and stakeholder alignment. I stand up the infrastructure — strategy, governance, tools, cadence so teams can deliver with confidence, not stress. 

But structure alone doesn’t create impact. People do.

My approach is human-centered: I build strong work relationships, honor community voice, and adapt solutions to fit the realities of culture, capacity, and funding. I work alongside leadership and front-line teams to make new ways of working usable on day one — and sustainable long after I’m gone.

“Creating success through structure isn’t about bureaucracy. It’s about clarity, trust, and giving people the cadence to win.”
