A Word from Our Founder
I believe not-for-profit organizations are essential to creating a just and humane world. I delight in partnering with staff and volunteers who are realizing their passion and dreams through their work. That’s why I founded Xanthus Consulting in 2019. Since then, I have been a “friction fixer” for so many wonderful local, national, and international organizations.
I help not-for-profit leadership work together more productively and sustainably with less stress. For more than 20 years, I have helped organizations clarify and coalesce around their vision, roles, and sustainability in a way that reduces internal friction and allows them to achieve and exceed their goals in less time.
I support your purpose-driven organization through leadership continuity, board development, and facilitation. I bring knowledge gained through a Master of NonProfit Leadership (MNPL) degree from Seattle University, a Certificate of Nonprofit Board Consulting from BoardSource, and Third Sector Company‘s Interim Executives Academy.
