Every organization reaches moments when it needs more than it has: more clarity, more capacity, more of the right relationships.
Maybe you're navigating a transition, preparing for a big moment, or trying to do a lot with a small team. Wherever you are, I start by listening to understand. Then we build the strategy, the story, and the relationships you need, together.
Services I provide
Narrative & Positioning
This is for you if: your work has grown or changed and the way you describe it hasn't caught up, or people nod politely when you explain what you do but it doesn't quite land.
What we'll do together: dig into what makes your work matter and to whom, then shape it into a clear, honest narrative and a messaging guide your whole team can use. This includes repositioning during leadership change, growth, or a new strategy, and turning complex, multi-country programs into language anyone can follow.
What you'll leave with: a story you're proud to tell, and the confidence to tell it the same way in every room.
Partnerships & Stakeholder Strategy
This is for you if: you're building relationships with funders, governments, corporate partners, or international institutions, and you want them to be real partnerships, not transactions.
What we'll do together: map who matters most and what they care about, then build the narratives, proposals, and engagement plans that invite them in. I bring particular experience with partnerships across U.S., Gulf, and SWANA contexts, where cultural understanding and protocol make all the difference.
What you'll leave with: a clear path to the partners your mission needs, and materials that make an honest, compelling case.
Executive Voice & Thought Leadership
This is for you if: your leader has a keynote, a convening, a major interview, or an op-ed on the horizon, and the moment matters.
What we'll do together: I'll listen closely to how your leader thinks and speaks, then write speeches, op-eds, forewords, and statements in their voice. I'll also help them prepare for the room: the audience, the key messages, and the moments to land.
What you'll leave with: words that sound like your leader at their best, and a leader who walks in ready.
Campaigns & Impact Storytelling
This is for you if: you have strong results and even stronger stories, but they're buried in reports or never travel beyond your own channels.
What we'll do together: find the human stories at the heart of your impact and build campaigns around them, from strategy and creative direction to ambassador engagement, media outreach, and funder-facing reports.
What you'll leave with: stories that move people to care, share, give, and join you.
Fractional Communications & Programs Lead
This is for you if: your team is small or stretched, you're between hires, or you're heading into a period of change and need an experienced hand now.
What we'll do together: I'll join your team part-time or on an interim basis, bringing senior leadership to your communications or programs work. I can build or strengthen a lean team, set direction and standards, coordinate partners and freelancers, and help carry major moments across the finish line.
What you'll leave with: senior support without a full-time salary, and a team that's stronger and more confident when I step back.
Strategy & Roadmaps
This is for you if: you're entering a new chapter, like a new strategy, a new program area, a leadership change, or a shifting funding or policy landscape, and you need a clear plan for how you'll show up, who you'll reach, and what success looks like.
What we'll do together: step back and look at the whole picture: your goals, your audiences, your partners, and the resources you actually have. From there, I'll help you build a practical communications and outreach roadmap, shape program and initiative strategy around your mission, and plan how to position your work with funders and sponsors. For community-based and refugee-led organizations, this can include strengthening your external relations so you can engage partners and secure resources with confidence. Where you have program data, we'll use it to show what's working and tell your story with evidence.
What you'll leave with: a clear, realistic roadmap with priorities, timelines, and measures of success, and a team aligned around where you're headed.
