Tell us about what your business does.

• I provide outsourced and episodic support to nonprofit charities and member organizations that are ready to make change, deepen their impact, and raise their visibility. I call myself a brand-focused operator — I step in to align people, systems, and strategy around mission and message.

What inspired you to join the Power to Prosper program?

• This is partly why I am in the class – to sort of redefine new short and long-term goals. I see more collaborations and me doing more teaching.

Where do you see your business in the next 5 to 10 years? How do you believe the Power to Prosper program will help you in reaching those long-term goals?

• My business recently celebrated 10 years. A lot has changed in the world in 10 years and I think focusing on my business instead of in my business is a good goal for this next phase of my business.

What’s your favorite thing about living and doing business in Louisville?

• Louisville is an accessible city, physically and professionally and has a lot of amenities.
