#SHIFTHAPPENS
Meaningful change doesn't happen by accident. It takes passionate people—together with the right resources and support—willing to challenge the possibilities.
MAKESHIFT is a different kind of partner—part strategist, part catalyst, and full-time believer in the power of collective imagination.
By partnering with mission-driven organizations, MAKESHIFT transforms bold ideas into meaningful equitable and inclusive impact. As your long-view strategic advisor, embedded fractional leader, or project-based consultant, I help progressive leaders deliver on their ambitions.
Whether that's supporting a non-profit redesigning community programs, navigating teams through a cultural shift, or helping social enterprises scale their impact, I've perfected the MAKESHIFT Transformation Journey™ by serving a wide range of clients—including startups, Fortune 500 companies, NPOs (and everything in between!) Each client is unique, with dynamic challenges and goals. I am dedicated to exceeding expectations and achieving these aspirations together.
