About NPI

During COVID, my supervisor pulled me off the team I was on and handed me a crisis. She needed a quality assurance system built for an epidemiology department. That was not my area. I told her that. She told me she did not care.

I had one week to get trained. Eight weeks to build a team and make it work.

We moved data accuracy from 37% to 86%.

Before that I stood up a health and wellness department from a single idea. Research, development, implementation, funding. Fully operational. Still running seven years later without me.

I have walked into pools, boardrooms, nonprofit offices, and public health departments where teams were not failing because the people were not capable. They were failing because nobody had created the conditions for them to succeed.

That is a systems issue. Not a people issue.

So we build the system. We make sure it works within the infrastructure that already exists. We hand it over. And we leave.

That is what we do. A solution that is operational inside the structure you already have. Nothing that requires us to stay. Everything that allows you to move forward without us.

I once was an EMT. Then I fell in love with public health because I was chasing the same thing, the root cause. The thing underneath the thing that explains everything else.

Then COVID happened and I fell into grant writing. And I was good at it. I have authored and helped award over $19 million in grants. I know this space deeply and I am proud of that work.

But Austin, Texas decided that was all I was. And I let it for a while.

The societal norms of where I live and the industry I was in put me in a box. Grant writer. That was the label. That was the lane. Even when I was standing up departments, rebuilding teams, and solving problems that had nothing to do with a grant application, people still called me the grant writer.

The truth is I have been a fixer since early in my management career. I come in when you are looking for someone who can think outside the box, who is resilient in their dedication to finding a solution, and who understands the frustration of not being able to get the answer you need. Because that was me. That is why I left EMS. That is why I moved into public health. That is why I became an entrepreneur. I see a problem and 

I build a solution.

Now I do it with a full team behind me.

NPI Consulting House is a boutique agency. I lead every engagement. But behind every engagement is a team assembled specifically for what you need.

For organizational and institutional work, we bring in grant strategists, nonprofit experts, fundraisers, program developers, and foundation relations specialists who have done this work inside real organizations with real stakes. For personal consulting, I work directly with you. For the operational side of every client experience, our internal team ensures nothing falls through.

You will always know who is in your corner and why they are there.

The North Star Session and personal consulting work is where you work directly with me. One conversation, one relationship. The team is still there behind the scenes, but in that space it is just us.

Everything else comes with a team.

We tell you all of this because you deserve to know what you are actually getting.

Not a consultant who learned this from a course. Not a solo operator with a polished website. A team of people who have built things from scratch, fixed things that were falling apart, and walked away leaving something better than they found.

We will get you. We will see what is actually happening. And we will tell you the truth about it, even when the truth is uncomfortable.

If you have ever thought, I wish I found someone like this sooner, you are exactly who we built this for.
