Every Jewish organization begins with a powerful mission—a dream of creating belonging, a better world, and lasting change. But the journey from vision to reality requires both clear direction and engaged people. That's where I come in.

The organizations I work with get clarity to make confident decisions about their future and the alignment to move forward together. My clients walk away with:

• Living plans with clear owners and timelines to guide action each month

• Meetings where people solve real problems together instead of just sharing updates

• A culture where differences strengthen the work rather than create tension

• Core values that show up in everyday decisions and make the hard ones feel easier

Why My Approach Works
I believe Jewish organizations thrive when they balance strategy with heart. My work helps you build the frameworks needed for organizational stability while nurturing the relationships essential for a strong culture.

Having led Mayyim Hayyim's transformation from a local to national organization—nearly doubling its budget and staff while expanding its reach worldwide—I've navigated the full spectrum of leadership challenges. During my 12 years as CEO, I saw firsthand how an organization's internal health directly shapes its external impact. Through economic uncertainty, leadership transitions, and evolving beyond startup phase, I learned that sustainable success isn't built on quick fixes—it comes from creating a strong foundation that can weather any storm while staying true to your mission.

What Sets My Work Apart
My approach helps your organization overcome strategic challenges with practical steps toward success. I make the complex feel manageable so you can focus on what matters most.

With more than two decades of work experience in the Jewish community, my background gives me a unique perspective on building organizations where systems and people flourish together.

As a Schusterman Senior Fellow with degrees in Social Work from Skidmore College and Boston University, I graduated among the first cohort of DeLet fellows at Brandeis University and spent a formative year studying at the Pardes Institute in Jerusalem.

My approach blends strategic leadership with creativity—honed through training in Creative Problem Solving and Applied Improv training at ComedySportz Boston, Second City Chicago, and Kismet Improv where I currently perform. I've written on inclusiveness and mental health in Jewish spaces, with my essay "Steel Womb" featured in McSweeney's 2022 anthology. I quickly build trust across diverse Jewish communities, ask questions that unlock new possibilities, and quite simply, get things done.
