Expertise
Three Notch’d Nonprofit Solutions is grounded in nearly 20 years of experience in the nonprofit world. I have had my hands in various pots at diverse organizations—ones where staff supplied their own computers and others with $25 million operating budgets.
I specialize in working with these types of organizations:
- Museums

- Membership-Based
- Educational Service
- Social Enterprise
My professional experience includes positions at:
- Children’s Museum of Memphis
- Clyfford Still Museum
- Colorado Art Education Association
- Corcoran Gallery of Art
- Denver Art Museum
- Denver Museum Education Roundtable
- Junior League of Denver
- National Building Museum
- RAFT Colorado
- Smithsonian American Art Museum

Approach
The Three C’s of Three Notch’d
Whether I have been on the art museum floor with preschoolers or in a meeting with a program officer of a foundation, there are three essential pillars that have always driven my work:
- Curiosity
- Characters
- Collaboration
These three C’s continue to sustain my work in programs, fundraising and communications. As a consultant, my hope is that my fresh perspective can take a load off of nonprofit staff who are likely stretched a little too thin. If you’re in need of project-based or just general support, I’d love to talk about how I can help.
