Summary
I have spent a decade in the trenches of the NGO world in Haiti, where I worked as a psychosocial specialist and advisor. My approach is grounded in one principle: people drive organizational success. Now, I am using that experience to help mission-driven organizations figure out what’s working, what’s failing, and how to move forward. Whenever it involves data, talent, or transformation, I’m in.
