Strategic Planning
Andi is an assiduous freelancer that gets the work done…great communicator and understands the needs of the client. Vladimir Paraschiv, Director, Grev Kafi Museum of Art
Thank you very much! You really brought us up to speed as an organization and now we have a more solid foundation with documents & strategic planning. It has also shown me that there are some critical considerations left on the table, but in the end it is all about people. Dr. Michael James-Long, President / Board Chairperson, Fair Family Radio

Facilitation & Board Development
Last Saturday’s session was wonderful. I was so pleased to see the board so engaged!
Enjoyed my time. Andi drew more info. from people (thoughts, feelings). They made discussion grow and flow.

I learned a lot about my board through this process. Andi was able to put them at ease, ask open-ended questions, and empower them. Nonprofit Leader
Grant Fundraising
It was a joy to read your grant. ~ U.S. Office of Head Start Program Officer
Andi is excellent at vetting opportunities against the mission of the organization to determine which grants have the greatest chance of success, and is very strategic in their approach to fundraising. I would suggest having a conversation with Andi to see if there is potential for a relationship there. They are based in Eugene but easy to work with remotely. ~ Joan Amaratti, Development Officer

Education & Training
Andi’s help was invaluable to our team. They were mindful not to feed us ideas or take away from our ownership of the assessments while also providing helpful advice in all regards. I very much appreciated Andi’s calm demeanor and professionalism at all times. I felt very well supported. – UO Nonprofit Clinic Student
Andi did a great job at monitoring each of us and intervening or offering extra help when Andi knew we were at a breaking point. I could tell Andi often held back or restraining from offering advice or insight when we were struggling through a learning moment, which I appreciated and I know that’s hard to do. – UO Nonprofit Clinic Student
I just received my ACT score and got a 33, which is 2 points higher than my target score! I had such a great experience with the ScoreBeyond program. – JM
