At Lantern & Canary Advisory, we believe meaningful change begins with clarity -understanding where you’ve been, recognizing where you are, and illuminating the path toward what’s possible.

With more than two decades of leadership experience across philanthropy, higher education, conservation, agriculture, and community impact, I help purpose-driven organizations uncover opportunities, strengthen relationships, and build strategies that inspire action.

Like the lantern that lights the way forward and the canary that recognizes what others may not yet see, my work is rooted in insight, connection, and thoughtful guidance. Great fundraising has never been just about dollars raised  -it is about trust, shared values, powerful stories, and bringing people together around a vision for something bigger.

Whether you are a grassroots organization preparing for growth, a charity looking to deepen donor relationships, or an institution ready for transformational change, Lantern & Canary Advisory helps you navigate complexity, build confidence, and create lasting impact.

Together, we’ll uncover the possibilities already waiting to be found.

Located in Mi’kma’ki

Thanks for submitting!

I would like to acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This land is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship,” first signed in 1725, which established an ongoing relationship between the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik Peoples and the Crown. These treaties recognized the Mi’kmaq’s rights to their land and resources, and they remain living agreements to this day.

I also wish to honour the legacy and contributions of African Nova Scotians, whose communities have been an integral part of the province for over 400 years. These communities have deep roots, resilience, and cultural influence that continue to shape Nova Scotia today.We are all Treaty People, and we are called to live in right relations with one another and with this land.
