With nearly 20 years of experience in corporate brand development, advocacy, and nonprofit accounting and leadership, I help organizations strengthen their infrastructure, clarify their voice, and secure the resources they need to grow.

My philosophy blends out-of-the-box thinking, creative strategy, and authentic storytelling to help organizations secure more resources and reach more people.

Nonprofits are doing some of the most important work in our communities, yet many forget that their mission is also a brand. When that mission is communicated clearly and authentically, people connect with it.

As the founder of A Promise Kept™ Foundation, a victim advocacy nonprofit organization, I created HL Creative Consulting as part of continuing a promise I made at 15. Having worked inside nonprofits, I understand where the gaps are. My work focuses on strengthening the structure behind the mission while advocating for the heart of the organization.

Nonprofits don’t need more “nonprofit fluff.”
Your mission is powerful enough on its own.

Donors aren’t looking for polished language — they’re looking for authenticity, purpose, and impact. Your heart is what inspires people to believe in your work.

My goal is simple: to make a difference by helping the nonprofits that are working every day to make our communities better.
