​

I help mission-driven organizations build strong financial systems so they can focus on their impact.

My work sits at the intersection of finance, leadership, and social change. For more than two decades, I’ve worked with nonprofits and purpose-driven businesses, helping leaders turn complex financial information into clear strategy and sustainable growth.

I believe that when organizations understand their finances, they gain the confidence and stability needed to lead boldly.

Experience

​

My career began in nonprofit finance as Finance Director for the American Red Cross. While studying at UNC–Chapel Hill, I also launched a bookkeeping practice serving small organizations across the Triangle.

My work later took me to Central America, where I spent several years working with nonprofit organizations supporting indigenous women and community development. I served as Executive Director of the Maya Traditions Foundation in Guatemala and later as Country Director for Pencils of Promise in Nicaragua, where I launched the organization’s in-country operations.

After returning to the U.S., I completed a Master’s in Accounting and founded Zen Consulting, LLC to provide fractional CFO services, financial strategy, and tax support. In 2022, I formed Evolve Leadership Coaching, Inc, a nonprofit designed to serve and  support nonprofit leaders in their work through coaching, consulting and  Fractional CFO work.
