Build and lead
strong nonprofit communications
teams

 

Whether you're leading comms or hiring the person who will.

YOU KNOW YOUR MISSION DESERVES BETTER COMMUNICATIONS. 
 

But you're stuck writing press releases no one reads, posting without strategy, and responding to whatever lands on your desk. What if instead of doing communications, you were leading them?

​

I coach nonprofit comms leaders to Think Like a CCO through 1:1 coaching and the Nonprofit Comms Club, a professional development community built for communicators ready to lead.

THINKING ABOUT HIRING YOUR NEXT NONPROFIT COMMS LEADER?

Maybe you know you need help with communications but aren't sure what the right role looks like. Or maybe you're ready to hire but don't know what to look for. I help nonprofit executives and leaders figure out what they need and find the right person, from defining the role to evaluating candidates.

Helping nonprofits build and lead strong teams

​I've been in nonprofit communications since 2008, nearly all of it in the nonprofit sector. I've worked my way from "the social media girl" to Marketing Director to Director of Communications to Chief Communications Officer. I hold a master's degree in Mass Communications and Journalism with a focus on Integrated Marketing Communications from the University of Kansas.

 

Along the way, I've partnered with organizations across policy, faith-based, education, and community-based sectors, helping them communicate more effectively, align internal teams, and deliver results with clear, compelling messaging.

​

Now I help nonprofits in two ways:

​

I coach nonprofit comms leaders through the Nonprofit Comms Club, a professional development community where communicators learn to Think Like a CCO. I help them think strategically, make confident decisions, and build systems that work, even when they're flying solo.

​

I also help nonprofits make the right comms hire. From building the job description to evaluating candidates, I help EDs and executive leaders find the right person to lead their communications.
