I do the thing before I teach it.

I am the CEO of a Mid-Atlantic foundation and the programs and projects under it, including a girls' sports program reaching thousands of girls and a capital project I dreamed up and am fighting to build. I have led organizations for more than a decade. I write for the Forbes Nonprofit Council. I raised two teenagers, and I walked my own family out of more than a hundred thousand dollars of debt by getting clear about what actually mattered.

Somewhere in the last few years, I rebuilt how I work. I run most of my executive week on AI now: the morning briefing that reads across my calendars and inbox before I open a tab, the knowledge base I can ask like a person, the board prep that finds the hole in my argument before the board does. It gave me back hours, and it changed what I believe is possible for a small team that cares about its mission.

So this is the work I do alongside my own name. I advise other nonprofit leaders on the hard parts of running the organization, and I sit in the hard rooms as a facilitator who has actually held the chair. And I help leaders and teams put AI to work, whether they want to be taught it, guided through it, or handed the finished thing. The through line is the same in every room: less friction, more clarity, and nothing dressed up as more than it is.
