What can Nonprofit MediaWorks do for you?

As a consultant, my goal is to provide  smart strategies and technologies that can help nonprofits do their jobs even better. Whether your organization has a specific media project or a need for staff training, I can help.

As a Senior Trainer at Idealware  (“Helping nonprofits make smart software decisions”), I’ve  had a window into the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as donor, email, web, and volunteer management systems, and I’ve trained a myriad of nonprofit leaders through workshops at the Connecticut Association of Nonprofits and Idealware on topics from YouTube to earned media strategies to social media decision making.

Call me! I’m available for consultation and trainings on:
