About
Equip Change was founded on the lessons I wish I had known throughout my journey as a nonprofit founder, social impact consultant, funder, and volunteer. I have been in all of these roles, experiencing both the challenges and opportunities that come from committing to a career dedicated to doing good. I’ve always believed that I can never lose by helping others win, and this has been my guiding principle in every space I’ve built or entered.
My experience as a nonprofit co-founder gave me a firsthand understanding of the daily demands of being an efficient operator with boots on the ground, where each strategic decision needed to be aligned with the needs of stakeholders driving the mission forward. In my role in private philanthropy, I moved financial capital to communities while providing them with the capacity-building tools they needed to succeed.
To truly win in this space, you need access, capacity, and a robust toolbox to tackle the complex challenges we face today. I believe AI has the potential to enhance our capacity to focus on what matters most—serving communities, fostering relationships, and nurturing sustainability.
