“Monica is one of the most invaluable consultants our agency has ever used for strategic consulting.  She is incredibly insightful and quick, as well as an extreme joy to work with; hence, I looked forward to our regular meetings and even wished we could hire her into our company! She is able to keep the big picture thinking and solution-oriented thinking in the same space, making our strategic planning seamless. She was extremely fast to understand our needs, agency and county nuances, and goals. She helped us conceptualize our strategy, and used her expert project management skills to keep us on track with next steps. Further, she was willing to jump in and provide hands-on support in areas we had limited resources, such as designing program materials and leading strategic calls with potential partners.  Further, she gently pushed us to think outside of the box to develop innovative ideas, borne out of the fact that she made it safe to bounce ideas off of her. Monica is someone I will use for years to come as a consultant, as her professionalism, strategic and business acumen, and thought leadership were beyond comparison.“
