“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”
-Ryunosuke Satoro

About Me
I partner with organizations, networks, coalitions, and collaboratives who are frustrated with the status quo and ready to take measured risks for greater good.
We collaborate as thought partners to navigate the context—political, social, and everything in between—and bring about the big changes you want to see.
I have been described as the link between ungrounded visions and over-grounded details. I come alive in ambiguous, emergent spaces while holding shared capacity in dreaming big and playing in the weeds. With a gift for transforming bold visions into tangible realities, I thrive at the intersection of big ideas and real-world action. I love leaning deep into the question, “What will it take?”—envisioning what’s possible and needed to create change, and then rolling up my sleeves to map the finer details of how we get there.
One of my superpowers is listening. Whether working with a multi-stakeholder group or walking with a friend, I am listening for the next question that will move our inquiry and exploration deeper. A natural systems thinker, I help people and organizations untangle complexity, spark fresh insights, and move from “what if” to “what will be.” Known for my sharp synthesis and ability to make collaboration both productive and deeply human, I bring structure and adaptability in equal measure—infusing the work with clarity, warmth, and a spirit of possibility.
