The People Behind the Work
Founder and Chief Engagement Officer
I am a human first — a partner, parent, sister, auntie, and friend. I have spent more than 15 years helping foundations, nonprofits, and companies navigate the messy but rewarding work of leadership. Along the way, I have guided organizations through leadership transitions, retreats, and fundraising strategies that have helped move nearly $100 million toward equity-centered visions.
I started Lovell Strategies because I believe real impact does not begin with polished decks. It begins with people. When leaders are honest with themselves, their teams, and their partners, lasting change becomes possible.
That belief comes from my maternal family's immigrant journey, which taught me the power of investing in people, saying the necessary things to move conversations forward, and inspiring others to step into their best selves.
I am a proud Miami native with Trinidadian and Panamanian roots. When I am not working with leaders to unlock clarity, you can find me hanging with my husband and kids, salsa dancing with friends, or blasting Soca music.
