“It was an utter delight working with Stormy to conceptualize my new venture and bring it into form with a presence on the web. She was endlessly passionate about truly helping me in every way she could, offering a wide palette of gifts and expertise that gave me the confidence to jump off into the unknown. Stormy is extremely bright, grounded, aware and compassionate. She is the perfect consultant for anyone wishing to craft meaningful businesses that will make the world a better place.”

“Stormy was instrumental in creating the Board Fellows Program at the David Eccles School of Business. The program matches graduate students with nonprofit organizations in our community for a one-year term. Since the program was started 5 years ago, our student chapter of Net Impact – that coordinates the program – has paired over 100 students with a variety of local organizations, many of which invite the student to stay on or request to work with a new student each year.”

“I’ve worked with Stormy on a number of projects and can’t recommend her strongly enough. One example is a training program that she helped us develop from an idea into a marketable product, one that has continued to advance the mission of our nonprofit company. Stormy brings ideas, sound business sense, and energy to the projects she’s helped us with. More than that, she’s great to work with!”

I have known Stormy for about 15 years. She is one of the smartest and most productive people I have ever worked with. While Stormy was a graduate student at Emory University in Atlanta working on her Masters of Public Health, she worked part time for me as a project assistant. In this role, she organized the office, planned national seminars, responded to client inquiries about service initiation and expansion and researched topics to help me with my work as the project director of an in-house consulting group of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
After she finished graduate school and moved from Atlanta to Salt Lake City, I hired Stormy on several different occasions. She helped me move the office to St. Petersburg, FL and set up all of the systems as a very technically adept person, which I’m not. She also helped me hire the next great project assistant, a woman that stayed for three years until she left to earn her MPH/MSW degrees.
I called on Stormy again when I needed some research in the field of quality improvement in health care. I was considering instituting a new national award for non-profit family planning clinics and needed to better understand other comparable awards and the system of evaluations. Stormy patiently interviewed me to get a much better idea of what I wanted. An idea took shape and through Stormy’s thorough research, I was directed to the best resources saving me hundreds of hours of work. Stormy was able to draft a model award system and summarize policy issues to consider. That work served as the basis of a quality improvement program for the next five years. On several other occasions I have sought Stormy’s assistance, including in developing a way to benchmark Planned Parenthood service providers on topics like efficiency and service, and to coordinate details for a national training program that was designed to help build capacity for health center staff and management. Each time, she helped flush out multiple ideas and allowed me to forge a path forward.
I have stayed in touch with Stormy, following her career with great interest. She has a unique combination of talents and ambitions that serve her well: a passion for social change, strong analytical skills, entrepreneurial spirit, desire to use her talents to help organizations and individuals succeed, and fierce determination to pursue her dreams.
