Hey, I’m Krysta.

I work with leaders, educators, and organizers who want their everyday work to better match their values and hopes for their communities.

Through coaching, facilitation, and reflective tools, I help you move from feeling stretched thin or stuck to taking clear, aligned action.

Work with Me

My Approach

Trauma-informed, Human-Centered

I help leaders lead from a place of wholeness rather than burnout. I create brave spaces where you can be honest about “what is” and imagine what’s possible. Together, we slow down enough to notice patterns, regulate stress, and build emotionally intelligent practices so you and your team can navigate hard seasons with more resilience and less overwhelm.

Systems-Focused

I partner with you to turn big, blurry challenges into clear priorities and doable next steps. I blend coaching and consulting so you leave each conversation with both insight and actionable next steps. My approach helps you align your vision, systems, and culture so your organization can grow in sustainable, values-rooted ways.

Case Studies *

Nonprofit ED

A nonprofit hired me for grant-writing services after years without receiving grants and losing momentum due to turnover. As we worked together, it became clear they needed a grants program built from the ground up, not just individual proposals.​

The Executive Director and I partnered to develop a grant-tracking system, organize key attachments, write boilerplate language, and develop logic models that told a clear story of impact. In the first year, we secured $20,000 dollars while also building the foundation for a stronger second year. The Executive Director expressed deep gratitude for how much we accomplished in just twelve months.

School Partnership

A university department invited me to support their annual retreat as they addressed gaps in student enrollment and performance, particularly among first-generation college students. They wanted to create a safer, more welcoming environment for the students they served.​

I worked with the dean to design a session that clarified the department’s values, surfaced unconscious biases affecting teaching and advising, and explored systems-level changes instead of surface-level fixes. Faculty and staff left feeling more connected to each other and to their students, energized and united around a clearer focus on first-generation student success.

Coalition Support

After a year of success, a statewide policy coalition was solidifying its structure and integrating base-building into its work. The base-building group was stuck on whether they were building a base for their own organizations or for the coalition.​

I partnered with the leader to strengthen the core structure through processes and procedures. I also facilitated a process to clarify the basebuilding group’s purpose, set concrete goals, and develop a strategy for the year, to support the coalition’s committees as a whole. By the end, members reported feeling clearer and more focused, with aligned strategies and tactics to advance their shared agenda.
