What Guides Us
-
For us, clarity isn't about fancy jargon or complicated explanations. It's about keeping things straightforward and easy to understand. We believe in speaking plainly, being transparent in our approach, and making sure everyone involved knows exactly what's going on and why. It's about cutting through the noise so you can see the path forward clearly.
-
When we talk about impact, we're not just aiming for small wins. We're driven by a desire to create real, meaningful change alongside you and your organization. It's about the ripple effect – the positive outcomes that stem from your work and ours. We want to help you not just solve problems but build something that truly makes a difference in the lives of the people you serve and the wider community.
-
Equity means fairness and justice, going beyond just treating everyone the same. We recognize everyone starts from a different place and needs different support to have a fair shot. It's about actively identifying and fixing imbalances and breaking down barriers – both the obvious ones and the ones that are woven into the system – so everyone has a fair path forward. It's an ongoing commitment to creating a level playing field.
-
We truly believe we're better together. Collaboration isn't just a buzzword for us; it's how we operate. We see ourselves as your partners, working side-by-side with you, learning from each other, and pooling our strengths. It's about open communication, shared goals, and recognizing that the best solutions often come from bringing different perspectives to the table.
-
At the end of the day, integrity is our foundation. It's about being honest, ethical, and accountable in everything we do. You can count on us to be straightforward, to honor our commitments, and to always act in your best interest. We build trust through our actions and ensure our work is guided by a strong moral compass.
Meet the Team

FounderAs the founder of SOLAS Strategic Consulting, I've dedicated my career to empowering mission-driven leaders and their organizations. My focus is on helping them navigate complex challenges and create lasting, equitable change. With a Master of Public Health in Leadership and a decade of progressive experience, I've cultivated deep expertise in the strategic tools and collaborative frameworks that build resilient organizations.
My approach is built on a foundation of clarity, impact, equity, collaboration, and integrity—values that guide every partnership. I'm passionate about translating ambitious visions into tangible outcomes, always with a focus on people-centered solutions. I excel at crafting actionable roadmaps that ensure your big goals are not just set, but achieved and tracked. My experience includes leading strategic planning for multi-sector partnerships, philanthropic initiatives, and government programs, all focused on improving critical social outcomes where I defined measurable goals and developed data-driven strategies to address systemic inequities.
My expertise also includes leading strategic impact evaluations for various initiatives, where I developed and implemented frameworks to measure and communicate collective impact. I've also managed the evaluation and analysis of large-scale grant programs, ensuring accountability and generating insights for effective program management, and have consistently applied equitable evaluation principles to guide planning and practices. I foster strong, collaborative relationships that transform competition into shared success. For example, I have co-led and managed complex interagency initiatives aimed at enhancing community well-being, demonstrating strong cross-functional leadership. I've also facilitated cross-sector collaboration to bring diverse partners together, effectively addressing health inequities and fostering stronger community relationships. My experience in facilitation ensures productive discussions and tangible results. I have routinely coordinated and facilitated high-level stakeholder meetings and leadership team sessions for many different initiatives, ensuring effective communication and collaboration. Additionally, I've led organization-wide improvement initiatives, guiding groups through complex discussions and driving collective progress.
