RootWise Consulting

A polished conference table made of light oak, viewed from a slightly elevated angle, covered with carefully arranged consulting materials: a printed journey map with icons and arrows, a tablet showing a dashboard of simple performance metrics, a bound report with a clean, understated cover, and a small tray holding smooth river stones labeled with values like “clarity,” “collaboration,” and “impact.” Neutral-toned walls and a large indoor plant in the blurred background create a calm, grounded environment. Soft overhead lighting combined with gentle window light creates balanced illumination and subtle reflections on the tabletop. Photographic realism with moderate depth of field emphasizes a mood of thoughtful collaboration and sustainable, real-world solutions.

Our Service Portfolio

Signature Experience & Impact

System-Wide Project Management Implementation

Designed, executed, and managed a comprehensive project management system that supported:

  • 80 staff members
  • 70 active projects
  • Over $70 million in funding

This work required deep collaboration across departments including IT, communications, evaluation, and program teams. Through extensive stakeholder engagement and workflow mapping, the system created visibility, accountability, and alignment across the organization.

National Program Design & Policy Change

Helped design a national initiative supporting schools and districts across the country to promote healthy behaviors through:

  • Nutrition
  • Physical activity
  • Policy change

This work focused on creating sustainable, lasting improvements by integrating healthy practices into school systems and policies.

Organizational Process & Risk Consulting

Through prior consulting work, I supported organizations in:

  • Mapping process workflows
  • Identifying project risks
  • Conducting gap analysis
  • Designing practical solutions with teams
  • Strengthening communication across departments

The goal was always the same: create systems that support people and make work easier, not harder.

Public Service Perspective

As a city councilor, I bring a unique lens to understanding how complex systems function — both internally and in how they impact the public.

I work closely with community partners and staff to understand:

  • How programs operate
  • Where gaps exist
  • How policies affect real people
  • What improvements will have the greatest impact

This perspective strengthens my ability to help organizations think holistically and design systems that truly serve their stakeholders.
