Our Services

Strategic Problem-Solving with Focus on Organizational Mission

I offer a wide range of consulting services to help our clients achieve their goals and make a positive impact on their community. My services include but are not limited to:

WHY CHOOSE ME?

As one of the founders and visionaries of PathStone Corporation, a thriving not-for-profit that now serves communities throughout nine states and Puerto Rico I have developed and honed a set of skills and experience that I’m excited to share with those committed to advancing the cause of social and economic justice. I possess a deep knowledge of program service delivery systems, supervision of executive leadership, strategic organizational development, and executable community advocacy

in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

Organizational transitions, internal staff and board dissension, financial shortfalls, and mission creep can all undermine the impact, and intentions, of community organizations. My expertise addresses these issues through an inclusive leadership style that emphasizes consensus decision-making, servant leadership and organizational learning groups.
