The best way to find out if I might be helpful to you is to reach out and have a conversation - let me know what you know so far about your needs, timeline, and budget. If I’m not the right person for the job, I’ll connect you with other fantastic folks in my networks.

I believe that change work requires sustained resources and thoughtful adaptability.

I work on a sliding scale based on the overall budget of an individual, group, or organization. Each situation is unique and I bring a spirit of transparency and generosity. My scale starts at $50/hour and is informed by AORTA’s sliding scale and Rockwood Leadership Institute’s scale.

As an independent contractor I incur all employment taxes and operating costs. A minimum of 10% of my income is redistributed both to organizations and individuals. (Why individuals? Learn more here about cash assistance/mutual aid as a strategy.)
