My Approach
"When I don’t have the answer, I know who does."
My clients benefit not only from my experience, but also from a trusted network of leaders, innovators, and subject matter experts who are helping shape the future of human services.
Why Work With Me
Helping Organizations Navigate Change, Build Capacity, and Achieve Lasting Impact
For nearly 30 years, I have partnered with provider organizations, state agencies, and national associations to strengthen services, develop leaders, and improve outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism.
As Executive Director Emerita of 3Rivers, Inc. and former Executive Director of Independence Advocates of Maine, I bring executive leadership experience, practical expertise, and a nationwide network of trusted partners to every engagement. Through my work with ANCOR and organizations across the country, I help leaders navigate complex challenges, strengthen operations, and build sustainable solutions.
When I don’t have the answer, I know who does. My clients benefit not only from my experience, but from a large network of experts, innovators, and problem-solvers committed to helping organizations succeed.
Based in Orono, Maine, I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, cheering on my favorite New England sports teams, and making memories with family and friends.
Practical Expertise. Trusted Relationships. Real-World Solutions.
