The Approach

Start with intentionality & care…

Intentionality and care are critical pillars in my work. To that end, I operate as an extension of your team, immersing myself seamlessly into your organization.

I thrive in the push-and-pull of both holistic and granular work, creating capacity for your organization as a partner in vision setting, systems development & integration, and strategy & implementation.

… and refine through the lens of iterative resilience.

The ebb and flow of running nonprofits are difficult enough. I take iterative resilience as a design strategy, closely partnering with all stakeholders to realize an end goal that is mission aligned and sustainable.

Borne out of community, KASAMA is a boutique advisory firm with a philosophy rooted in the triumvirate of people, systems, and strategy.
