About Me

After more than twenty years working in fundraising and communications in Toronto, I came home to Saskatchewan with a new purpose: to help local charities build strong, sustainable fundraising systems that actually work.

I’ve seen both sides of the nonprofit world — from billion-dollar capital campaigns to small rural organizations doing incredible work with limited resources. That experience shaped how I see impact: it begins with understanding, clarity, and genuine connection.

At Grassland Strategies, I take the time to understand each organization’s philosophy — what drives your mission, what you value most, and how you want to be seen in your community. From there, we build communications and fundraising systems that reflect your story with authenticity and purpose.

Storytelling, to me, is a partnership. It’s about listening deeply and helping you share your work in a way that others can see, feel, and believe in. My goal is to make fundraising less overwhelming and more meaningful — helping you raise more money while staying focused on what matters most: your mission.

Let’s build something lasting together.
