Message

I founded Atlastik L.L.C. to provide flexible, culturally responsive consultation services. In my current work, I processed charitable contributions and gift acknowledgements for the Immigrate Law Center of Minnesota.

At the International Republican Institute, I led grant operations for U.S. State Department-funded programs and oversaw a research budget. I’ve also supported humanitarian response in refugee camps in Lesvos, prepared donor reports for projects in Burkina Faso, Uganda, and Malawi, and worked on community health and gender programming in Malawi.
