WHO I WORK WITH

Organizations across Canada helping seniors age well, stay connected, and remain at home in their communities.

My career took me from frontline work with seniors into the nonprofit and community organizations that support them. This experience led me to build Connected Aging.

Today, I partner with nonprofits, charities, service providers, and businesses to create, strengthen, and grow the programs and solutions that help seniors thrive.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • Deep in day-to-day operations with no time for strategic thinking

  • Funding uncertainty, staffing instability and constant change

  • Ideas that struggle to move from concept to community impact

  • Limited insight into what seniors and their families need

15 years in the aging sector working across integrated care, community supports, housing, and long-term care

I help organizations strengthen their foundation, develop solutions, and expand their impact through innovation, operations, engagement, and strategic support.

My approach is integrated, hands-on and practical, grounded in the realities of organizations supporting seniors. I partner through part-time, project-based, or advisory support across these areas:

STRATEGIC GROWTH

From idea to delivery

I help organizations think strategically, design and launch new programs, fundraise, and build the partnerships to grow their reach and impact.


OPERATIONS SUPPORT

From setup to ongoing support

I work with your team to build the structure and systems to operate effectively and grow sustainably, including steady support during transitions.

Whether you are building, growing, or reimagining, I bring the experience and support to advance your priorities
