Hi! My name is Tia and it is nice to meet you. After a dynamic career in all aspects of nonprofits I decided to launch a consulting firm, The Orange Peel Collaborative. At the heart of my firm, the idea is that just like there are many ways to peel an orange, there are many approaches to business. It doesn't make my way right or your way wrong- so let's all get to work! I want to be known for creatively fixing problems and helping people and organizations thrive. The concept I keep coming back to is how in coming back from being a digital nomad in Mexico, I was struck by how much Covid had changed Americans. It was like people had been through war and I had this deep desire to help rejuvenate my country one person at a time. So here we are! Who I am: I am the catalyst for change in the nonprofit sector. As a seasoned strategic nonprofit operations professional, I bring a unique blend of expertise and hands-on experience to the table.
