Why Work With Me
With more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, workforce development, and community systems, I bring a practical, implementation-focused approach to Connecting Communities. I understand how programs actually operate — and how funding, compliance, trauma-informed care, and community realities intersect.
In addition to program and systems work, I offer confidential, non-clinical peer counseling support for employees and leaders navigating difficult workplace dynamics, organizational change, and career decision points, all aimed at Empowering Workforce.
This perspective allows me to see both the systems and the human impact of the work — and to support individuals and organizations in ways that are grounded, respectful, and realistic.
My goal is to help organizations build programs that work, support the people doing the work, secure funding responsibly, and strengthen community outcomes over time. Together, we can create a lasting impact with the insights I've gained as Lorrie Wick.
Strengthening local systems. Expanding opportunity. Building resilient communities.
I partner with nonprofits, local governments, and community organizations to design, strengthen, and implement programs that focus on connecting communities and empowering the workforce, ultimately improving outcomes for individuals and their communities. My work bridges strategy and execution — helping organizations transition from ideas and funding opportunities to sustainable, measurable impact, all while working alongside Lorrie Wick.
