I am a Milwaukee-based fund development consultant and cultural strategist helping nonprofits, artists, and community-based organizations grow their capacity through grant writing, organizational strategy, and creative collaboration. With a background spanning nonprofit management, marketing, and public art, I bring a rare combination of administrative rigor and artistic vision to every project.

​

Over the past two decades, I’ve worked across the nonprofit ecosystem—as a director, curator, and community organizer—building relationships within Milwaukee’s philanthropic and civic communities. My approach is highly collaborative, designed to meet each client where they are, helping them strengthen operations, secure funding, and tell their stories effectively. I specialize in developing flexible fund development models that make strategic growth accessible to small and emerging organizations.

​

Currently, I serve as Development Director at Art Intersection Milwaukee and Director of Washington Park Wednesdays, overseeing large-scale community events and partnerships that activate art and culture as tools for neighborhood connection.

​

My consulting practice is informed by my training as an artist, holding a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and my ongoing studio work in functional and sculptural ceramics. This creative lens shapes how I approach problem-solving—balancing vision with structure, imagination with impact.
