Meet Laura

I envision healthy, transformational organizations that embody their values and missions both internally and externally. I partner with organizations to advance organizational equity and joy through developing their systems, practices, people, and finances. My work creates organization's rooted in their communities, and I help organization's build cultures of clear communication, vision, care, and creativity. 

​

With over 15 years of experience working in the social sector, I have developed a keen ability to quickly assess the health of an organization and identify tactical next steps to help you implement your goals. I’ve worked in urban hubs and rural communities, domestically and internationally in community organizing, immigrant justice, environmental education, microfinance and public health. I have successfully led transformations in program and organization strategy, people and culture development, fundraising, succession planning, legal compliance and more. I thrive in managing both smooth and turbulent change.
