Michelle brings a wealth of skills and knowledge to her work as a nonprofit consultant, along with a lot of passion for empowering staff to execute plans. When I worked with her on a development plan, she was quickly able to identify organizational challenges and opportunities, and work alongside me to create comprehensive and customized solutions. Michelle understands that the role of a consultant is not to provide a “to-do” list… it’s to show organizations and their staff “you can do this!”
