Meet Rebecca

What I’ve learned is, that when all of the moving parts are in sync, true magic can happen.

However, there can be a lot of things working against getting to that place.

After nearly two decades as a nonprofit employee, I’ve become a nonprofit consultant so that I can help organizations be at their best.

My first experience in a nonprofit was in 1996 when I volunteered for a domestic violence shelter in my college town.

I knew nothing about the workings of a nonprofit at that time, but I was thrilled to put my personal values into action in such a tangible way.

I’ve been part of nonprofits ever since and have filled the roles of volunteer, staff, middle management, executive director, board member, and board chair.

The majority of my career has been spent advocating for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and I use the same empowerment model as a consultant.

Specifically, I approach each project believing that the organization has strengths and resources that will help it be successful, and each organization deserves to be treated as a unique entity with its own values, people, and mission.
