Partners and Projects

“I've had the pleasure of working with Monica twice. We so valued her approach, we were eager to work with her again. Monica and her team led a strategic growth and business planning process to scale our program from serving three counties to serving all of Washington state. I loved that her team asked clarifying, thoughtful questions that caused us to dig deep and dream big while charting a realistic path to where we wanted to go. She prioritized community input and is a great collaborator, communicator, and facilitator.¨

“Monica conceived an elegant and powerful equity framework superbly aligned with our agency’s equity strategy and the study’s content. This was no small task as the work focused on the complex global problem of inequitable health impacts from toxic chemicals in consumer products. She brought a strong systems thinking approach to the project which included stakeholder interviews, secondary research and recommended opportunities for action. Monica is sharp, intuitive, reliable, collaborative and deeply caring - a true pleasure to work with!”

"Your communication and leadership has made it possible for me to be involved. You are a remarkable, talented facilitator. You facilitate the sharing of the work in a way that creates success. That is not my experience with other projects."

¨I had the pleasure to work with Monica on a complex, multi-sectoral initiative. Monica’s thoughtful and collaborative spirit resulted in unified strategic plans and tangible results. She brought clarity and vision with her strong communication and project management skills and used her strengths in facilitating collaborative problem solving to ensure our work was reflective of client and community needs. I highly recommend her!¨

"I have worked with Monica regularly for nearly a decade. I’m continually impressed by her ability to facilitate meaningful discussions in groups small and large, across settings both professional and casual, and with audiences from diverse backgrounds. She guides stakeholders toward aligned goals with ease, all while grounding work in a systems change perspective."
