Welcome
Senior Operations & Strategy Support for Organizations That Need Stability.
I help mission-driven organizations, associations, and leadership teams stabilize operations and strengthen internal systems
Why Momentum Strategies
With more than a decade of executive and operational leadership experience, I’ve supported statewide organizations through periods of transition, financial constraint, and rapid growth. My work focuses on bringing structure, accountability, and forward momentum to complex environments — without unnecessary noise or micromanagement.
I operate as a strategic partner, not a task manager.
