Areas of Expertise

Strategic Guidance

Sometimes, all it takes is someone asking the right questions to help you get unstuck and move forward with confidence. I offer strategic support tailored to where you are:

  • Comprehensive strategic planning

  • Coaching

  • Thought partnership when you're working through complexity

Community Food Security

I’ve spent nearly two decades working to improve food access for all—from running a soup kitchen to leading initiatives at some of the nation's largest food banks. I specialize in:

  • Food insecurity measurement and reporting

  • Food program development and evaluation

  • Community-led food initiative development

Advocacy

The most effective policy solutions come from centering those most affected, not speaking for them. I can help you:

  • Develop powerful advocacy campaigns

  • Facilitate coalitions to build community power

  • Analyze and synthesize policy information for multiple audiences

Bringing clarity to the complex

I support organizations by providing strategic guidance, research and advocacy expertise, and program evaluation support with honesty, inclusion, and a commitment to getting things done.

  • Meg surfaced some amazing insights about the Food Bank's operating model that have helped kickstart very meaningful conversations on how to improve our services for our participants. She was able to dig deep with a variety of folks across the country in ways that our own staff's schedules wouldn't have allowed.
