Growing together
Capacity building is at the heart of my work with all clients. Whatever the engagment, it is always my goal to leave your team with new knowledge and skills to advance your work and create meaningful impact.

Through tailored consultancy and services, I help communities and organizations make the most of free and cost-effective tools, map community needs and interests, build responsive projects using evidence-based approaches, secure funding, and measure the impact of their work.
My work draws on more than 20 years of experience advancing sustainability, equity, and inclusive results across community-based, national, and international development settings. I bring proven expertise for integrated responsive project design, meaningful community engagement, proposal development and participatory impact assessment with a focus on actionable learning.
Over the past two decades, I’ve partnered with NGOs, networks, and coalitions across Canada and globally to co-design impactful initiatives, strengthen participatory learning and evaluation systems, building institutional capacity, and secure institutional funding. My consulting work has supported more than 30 organizations through strategic reviews, developmental evaluations, and gender-responsive program design spanning economic inclusion, education, community health, and climate adaptation.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to collaboration and learning. Using a collaborative strategist lens, I help clients articulate clear theories of change, build frameworks that make results visible, and align diverse partners toward shared impact. Most of all, I bring a passion for mobilizing grassroots leadership and strengthening local capacity to advance community goals for equitable and sustainable community development.
Grant opportunities often come with short application windows and it can be tough to pull proposals together when you’re already strapped for time running your programs. I can help you take advantage of funding windows by building projects that are ready for any template and will be attractive to your prospective funders!
I’m passionate about building our collective capacity! I work with clients to develop and deliver trainings to diverse audiences and strive to help every team I engage strengthen their practice and build their internal capacity for impactful project design, learning and management practices.
How do you know you’re doing good? I help clients find the joy in monitoring, evaluation and learning through easy data capture systems which identify trends and opportunities for improvement and which make it easy track progress against indicators and report back to stakeholders.
I would be honoured to count you among this community of amazing clients I’ve had the priviledge to support!
