I bring together research, strategy, communications and storytelling to help you build capacity, strengthen systems and bring your vision to life.
Your time is valuable, and no one can be everywhere at once.
With more than 15 years in non-profit leadership, education, community-based research and program evaluation, I take on the work that needs to be done well: delivering on your biggest moments, telling your success stories and making the most of your funding.
You get high-quality work and your time back, so you can take good care of your clients and staff.
I work at
the intersection of
Communications & Storytelling
Trauma-informed communications and grant writing that share your impact and bring in the funding to sustain it.
Strategic Planning & Capacity Building
Strategic planning, organizational development, project management and curriculum design that leave your team stronger.
Research & Evaluation
Program evaluation that shows what’s working, meets funder requirements and builds your own capacity to keep measuring.
Non-Profit & Social Impact Sectors
I know how your sector runs: tight budgets, big mandates and funders to report to. My support is built for that reality.

Hi,
I'm Daena
I’ve spent more than 15 years in the non-profit sector working alongside Indigenous communities and young people. After completing a PhD in Sociology at the University of Alberta, my work has taken me across Canada, partnering with communities to build a better world.
I bring my background as an academic, researcher and writer, along with a real love for people, to support communities and organizations to do their best work. Everything I do is grounded in the invitation to work together built on trust, respect, collaboration and good relationships.
