I bring more than a decade of experience helping organizations lead with greater clarity, connection, and sustainability. My background spans consulting, philanthropy, public sector strategy, and executive leadership.

Before launching Silphium Collective, I served as Chief of Staff at The Opportunity Trust, where I helped lead major organizational growth and secured $35.5M in federal grant funding. Earlier, I directed local programs and governance at GHR Foundation, managing $15–20M in annual grantmaking and building new racial equity initiatives. I’ve also advised leadership teams at the U.S. Institute of Peace, USAID, and IBM Public Sector.

Today, through Silphium Collective, I work alongside mission-driven organizations, leaders, and solopreneurs to design strategic plans, facilitate transformative retreats, strengthen internal systems, and build leadership practices rooted in care, clarity, and sustainability.

I specialize in supporting organizations at critical moments of growth, transition, or realignment — offering strategic planning, fractional Chief of Staff support, and leadership coaching.

I hold an Executive Certificate from Harvard Kennedy School, an ABD (All But Dissertation) in Sociology and Human Rights from the University of Minnesota, and a B.A. in Sociology from Macalester College. I’m also a proud IndeCollective and Camelback Capital Collaborative Fellow.

Across every role and project, I operate from one belief:

Care isn’t a soft skill — it’s a strategy.

I’m here to help leaders and organizations build systems that are more human, more sustainable, and more just.
