About

I advise nonprofit and government entities on economics, financial planning & analysis, and strategic planning through my nonprofit, Social Impact Consultants. I am a subject matter expert in the Balanced Scorecard performance management system, which I have designed and implemented for nonprofits as large as Habitat for Humanity International. I have also conducted market research, economic and fiscal benefit analyses, and feasibility studies for RCG Economics (as the firm's Director of Research) and for my own clients, including SafeNest, the Reno Housing Authority, and startup companies. I am passionate about using my skills and education to spur social change that helps children thrive. Prior to moving to the Greater Vegas Area in 2018, I earned an MBA from Emory University, an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary, and studied nonprofit leadership at Harvard.
