Helping organizations lead with clarity and courage. Strategy-first consulting, grounded in equity, powered by EquiVant
I am the founder of EquiVant Strategies (EVS), a boutique consulting practice helping organizations navigate complexity, align around purpose, and drive systemic transformation.
Over the last decade, I've worked with national nonprofits, philanthropic collaboratives, workforce boards, and city/state and federal partners. My expertise spans strategic planning, organizational development, leadership coaching, equity-centered transformation, and people-centered strategy.
At my core, I believe organizations thrive when they're clear about why they exist and are bold enough to live that purpose across teams, structures, and systems. I bring a strategy-first, values-led lens to every engagement - helping clients move from insight to action with honesty, alignment, and care.
Prior to launching EVS, I was a Senior Consultant at Maher & Maher (later acquired by the American Institutes for Research), where I supported public systems in tackling workforce challenges, leadership misalignment, and implementation gridlock. I've also led education access, reentry, and movement philanthropy initiatives.
Outside of consulting, I am an International Psychology Phd(c), researching how political polarization influences trust, belonging, and civic engagement. I care deeply about helping institutions become spaces of possibility - especially for those historically excluded from power.
Whether you need a strategic partner to co-create your next move or a steady hand to navigate change, I'd love to explore how we might work together.
Work Terms
I am generally available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM ET, with some flexibility for project milestones, time zones, and critical deadlines. I am based in the East Coast of the U.S. and work remotely with clients across the country.
For hourly contracts, my standard rate begins at $99.19 per hour. For fixed-price projects, milestone payments are structured based on deliverables, approved workplan, and overall value of work performed for the client. I am also open to rate negotiation depending on the structure of a given project and a client's need.
I am available via Guru messaging, or scheduled MS Teams meetings. I believe in open, transparent communication - especially during moments of change, uncertainty, or high stakes. You'll always know where things stand - as you always should.
If you're seeking a high-integrity partner who balances strategy, execution, and human connection - I'd be glad to connect.
