Here to Do Good

My Story

For nearly 35 years I’ve dedicated my career in service to a variety of social causes including environmental conservation, sustainable land use practices, cancer research and support services, cross-cultural education, sexual and reproductive health, LGBTQ youth services, immigration rights and advocacy, and performing arts. I’ve served for more than 15 years as a full-time CFO/COO of organizations with budgets ranging from $10 million to $65 million; sat on six nonprofit boards, serving as both treasurer and chair; and owned a leadership coaching and team development consulting practice for five years.

Today, I find myself at a new and gratifying phase of my varied career. I am delighted to make myself available for fractional, interim, project-based COO engagements for organizations on the forefront of the struggle for a more just, harmonious world.
