Hi, I’m Nicole!

Nonprofit strategist & public health program leader

Who I am

I’m a public health professional with more than two decades of experience driving organizational impact. I’ve been an Executive Director and an adjunct professor; I’ve run national programs and built digital products; I’ve facilitated multi-day retreats and written curricula.

Most importantly, I’m committed to advancing health equity, reproductive justice, LGBTQ inclusion, and helping our communities thrive.

What I do

I help organizations at critical junctures. I work with you to plan and launch new programs, taking the lead on conducting formative research, creating project plans, facilitating group convenings, developing content, and more.

Sometimes I embed as a fractional program leader to get a project off the ground, mentoring staff to take over management and sustain the project long-term.

Who I work with

My clients include nonprofits, public health agencies, startups, and coalitions of these groups. They bring me on at critical junctures like when they’ve received funding to launch a new program, when they’re forming a coalition and want to align on goals and roles, or simply when they need a strategy reset.

They range in size and mission, but they share a commitment to social, economic, and racial justice.
