SELECTED WORK & PORTFOLIO
My work sits at the intersection of leadership development, social impact strategy, civic engagement, research, storytelling, and applied consulting. Across higher education, nonprofit, and organizational contexts, I focus on helping people and institutions clarify purpose, strengthen leadership, design meaningful programs, and measure the impact of their work.
This selected portfolio brings together examples of my writing, program design, speaking, facilitation, civic engagement, storytelling, and strategy work. Some samples were completed through previous institutional roles at Bowling Green State University, while others reflect consulting, client-facing, academic, and public-facing projects. Together, they demonstrate my ability to move between research and practice, strategy and implementation, reflection and action.
The work linked below is organized by category so reviewers, collaborators, clients, and hiring committees can quickly explore the areas most relevant to their interests.
