Who the Frac Am I?

After nearly two decades in the nonprofit trenches (including the time my boss showed up at my house on mat leave with a stack of work—yes, really), I hit the wall. Burnout, frustration, the whole cliché. So I did what everyone dreams about and almost nobody actually does: I walked away.

Consulting was supposed to be a temporary lifeline while my kids were little. Instead, it took off. I built a $650K/year agency with a team, a downtown office, and all the trappings of “success.” Except it didn’t feel like mine.

Then the pandemic hit, and I realized: I didn’t want that version of success. I wanted freedom. I wanted impact. I wanted a business that didn’t chew me up and spit me out. So I torched the old playbook, started over solo, and this time? I made my own rules.

Now, I run Nonprofit Fractionals Network to help seasoned nonprofit pros like you do the same: build six-figure fractional consulting businesses that leave space for both purpose and profit. Because you don’t have to choose.

I’ve worked with more than 85 nonprofit fractionals—people who were tired of undercharging, hustling, and feeling like their expertise didn’t matter.

Together, we rewrote the rules. They built businesses where clients respect their time, pay their rates, and value their brilliance. And you can too.

When I’m not helping fractionals claim their space, you might find me:

• Writing (I’m the bestselling author of Raise It! The Reluctant Fundraiser’s Guide to Raising Money Without Selling Your Soul)

• Talking (I host Fracture, a private podcast for nonprofit fractionals, and used to co-host Confessions with Jess and Cindy)

• Challenging the status quo (with a side of sarcasm)

I also happen to have an MBA in Strategy and Change Management from Rotman—because it turns out rebelling against broken systems works best when you know how they’re built.

You can build a business that feels like you. Clear. Confident. Unapologetically bold. That’s what I’m here for.
