For nearly twenty years, I have partnered with organizations, philanthropies, NGOs, non-profits, movements, and socially responsible companies to think more strategically, operate more effectively, and make a deeper impact.

I'm an independent consultant with broad thematic expertise on gender issues, including reproductive rights and the intersection of gender and climate. My approach is responsive, collaborative and adaptive to the context and moment. Together, we can build the institutional infrastructure necessary for change to take root and hold.

Here's how we can work together:
-I provide writing and editing surge capacity to philanthropic partnerships or resource mobilization teams. This includes grant writing and reporting, program proposal design, research, and written communications products.
-I lead collaborative strategic planning processes for teams, organizations and networks.
-I support organizations to integrate a gender lens into their work, organizational structure or culture.
-I conduct reflection and learning processes, including organizational evaluations, monitoring plans and evaluations.

I've worked with nearly 30 organizations ranging from grassroots feminist funds to UN agencies to major philanthropies. These include Oxfam, UN Women, Urgent Action Fund Asia & Pacific, FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund, Global Fund for Women, Thousand Currents, American Jewish World Service, Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, The Gates Foundation, IFEX, the C&A Foundation, and many others. I did my graduate studies at Harvard, before that, I studied at Wesleyan University.

Alongside my consulting work, I’m a full spectrum doula, offering non-clinical support for pregnant people, newly postpartum families and folks navigating fertility. My work and research have taken me all over the world, with longer stints in Southern Africa and the Middle East.  More about what motivates my work can be found here.
