what can I do for you?

Social change work is hard. Resourcing our movements takes time and energy. Here is how I can support you, your staff, board, and members.

Organizational Development

I have held senior leadership positions at California-based non-profits for almost 10 years and therefore have a breadth and depth of experience with the infrastructure and operations needs of non-profits and their staff.

I can support you and your staff in the following area:

• Strategic Planning

• Program Design

• Program Evaluation

• Budget development

• Staff Supervision and Management

• Human Resources - including developing job descriptions, work planning with teams, developing an evaluation plan, and engaging in performance improvement plans

• Communications and Marketing - including developing websites, crafting and sending monthly newsletters, and managing social media platforms

• Leadership Development - including emotional intelligence, trust, generative conflict, and clear communication

• Streamlining Operations

• Change Management

• Research and Data Analysis

• Donor Management

Training

I am a skilled trainer and speaker on issues of embodied leadership, trauma, human rights, immigration, health care, gender-based violence, visioning and taking grounded action. My talks are engaging, interactive and lively and are tailored from 20 minutes to a multi-day workshop.

Some places I have spoken

• Latin American Association Conference, Puerto Rico

• National Domestic Workers Alliance Assembly, Washington D.C

• National South Asian Summit, Washington D.C

• University of California, Los Angeles

• University of California, Irvine

• University of Southern California

• The Claremont Colleges

Coaching

As human beings we are shaped by our families, communities, and the society and systems we grow up with. These systems do not teach us the tools we need to collaborate, coordinate, and take collective action. Often times, despite our best efforts, we act out of alignment with our values, especially when the pressure and stakes are high.

But through awareness, practice, and support we can intentionally let go of our old ways of being and consciously practice something different that is more aligned with our values and the leader we want to be. Coaching can be offered as a stand alone or as part of a training or workshop arc.

Grant and report writing

I have a decade of experience researching funding opportunities, engaging funders, preparing solicitation requests, crafting budgets, writing grant proposals and reports. I have regularly secured over $700,000 in funds annually from federal, state and county governments as well as private foundations and corporate sources.

Some funds I have successfully secured and renewed are:

The Ahmanson Foundation

The Annenberg Foundation

Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women

The California Wellness Foundation

The NoVo Foundation

Weingart Foundation
