What I do
Strategy & Organizational Operations
I help nonprofit and educational institutions strengthen the systems and processes that support their missions. My work has included organizational planning, process improvement, policy and procedure development, cross-functional coordination, and implementation of new systems and workflows. Over more than two decades in higher education and nonprofit organizations, I have worked at the intersection of operations, administration, technology, and institutional strategy—often translating complex requirements into practical processes that staff can actually use.
Financial Management & Compliance
My background includes extensive experience managing financial aid operations, regulatory compliance, reporting, audit preparation, and institutional financial processes.At New England Conservatory, I led financial aid operations for an institution serving approximately 800 students annually and directed approximately $21 million in institutional financial aid. In consulting engagements, I have supported institutions with federal reporting, compliance reviews, policy development, systems implementation, and audit preparation.
Development & Donor Engagement
My development work spans membership strategy, donor stewardship, gift administration, fundraising communications, events, and financial tracking. At the American Friends of the Musée d'Orsay et de l'Orangerie, I managed membership and donor engagement activities supporting an international cultural organization, working with gifts ranging from individual contributions to major philanthropic commitments.
Communications & Creative Work
I create and produce visual and digital materials that support fundraising, events, and organizational communications. My work has included brochures and other print materials, web content, digital communications, and video editing of educational lectures for web distribution.
Copywriting & Content Creation
I create and edit clear, audience-focused content for cultural and educational organizations. My work has included donor and organizational communications, event program content, brochures, financing guides for college-bound students, and detailed policy & procedure documentation. I translate complex institutional and regulatory information into accessible materials for students, families, donors, and other audiences.
