Strategic and Creative Consulting

As a versatile freelance consultant, I work with clients across private sector, public sector, and not-for-profit organizations. Drawing from over 20 years of leadership experience in communications, marketing, and behavior change, I provide strategic advice and practical solutions. Known as a “public sector whisperer” both my government relations and public sector clients count on me to help them navigate the system and get results.

I work across interests and sectors, with extensive experience in health, climate action and environmental sustainability, post secondary, citizen and stakeholder engagement, participatory democracy, and digital engagement.

I’m values-driven and love it when I find clients whose projects support the planet and social good.

My clients know that with me, they will enjoy a collaborative work style with the highest level of professionalism and ethical standards.
