"Autumn has been my champion. She has pushed my thinking, questioned my assumptions, called me out when I was playing small, and helped me reconnect to my strengths. Because of her, I lead with more clarity, confidence, and resilience. I no longer feel alone in this work.”
Ravin G
Coaching Client
"From our first meeting, it was clear Autumn had researched our brand and came prepared with tailored campaign ideas that spoke directly to our target audience. Her creative and thoughtful approach to nonprofit communications helped us to engage with our base of core supporters while also drawing in potential donors. Autumn is the consummate professional; responsive, thorough, and innovative. Working with her was an absolute pleasure”
Melanie W-MPH,
Former Director of Development & Community Engagement, VAG Clinic
"Autumn and I connected as fellow consultants and quickly realised we were like-minded. We collaborated on a workshop for nonprofit comms and development pros — and the entire experience can be summed up in one word: FUN. She was collaborative, full of innovative ideas, and always striving to make the work better. Any team would be lucky to have her "
Gina B
Comms Consultant, Bollus Communications
"Autumn is a communications powerhouse. In her time at Blue Ridge Abortion Fund, she has fully built our communications infrastructure, from developing big-picture strategy and establishing messaging pillars to outlining ethical storytelling guidelines and supporting staff in talking about our work. Autumn's steady guidance and deep understanding of how communications underscores everything we do has been an absolute game changer for our organization."
