Business Development Consultant

I’m an American expert who hangs out where algorithms meet analogies. 

With a background in Salesforce (and their motto being “clicks not code”), I navigate the world of technology with a focus on clarity and simplicity. 

My experience has taught me the power of clear communication, a skill I continually hone through my involvement with Toastmasters. 

Here on LinkedIn, I share practical insights for fellow tech enthusiasts and public speaking tips for those looking to find their voice. 

Whether you’re a techie, a Toastmaster, or both, I hope my posts bring a bit of insight and inspiration to your day.

My work integrates program and change management principles with emerging technologies to improve efficiency, strengthen collaboration, and scale organizational impact.

I am skilled in leveraging platforms such as Salesforce, Asana, and AI driven automation tools to optimize workflows, enhance learning experiences, and improve performance outcomes. Whether managing multi phase initiatives, streamlining systems, or leading cross functional teams, I focus on operational excellence and measurable results.

Over the course of my career, I have designed and led scalable programs that boosted participant retention, implemented digital systems to support growth on a national level, and cultivated strong partnerships across the nonprofit and technology sectors. I excel in dynamic, mission driven environments where innovation, equity, and accountability come together to achieve meaningful impact.

Passionate about leveraging technology, systems thinking, and collaborative leadership, I aim to design sustainable solutions that empower people, transform organizations, and drive long term social impact.
