Where Do You Need to Go From Here?

Every engagement starts with you at the center. Whether you need deep compliance infrastructure, leadership that's ready for the unexpected, or a structured path to organizational clarity — we meet you where you are and help you build what's next. Read on, to hear from Natalie, in her own voice, on what each service brings.

01

Compliance Consulting & Program Development

BUILD IT. FIX IT. MAKE IT LAST.

​

Whether you're building a compliance program from the ground up or strengthening one that has outgrown its infrastructure, I bring a realistic perspective to governance, policy development, regulatory alignment, and internal controls. I've built and rebuilt compliance programs inside some of the most complex federal and nonprofit healthcare systems in the country, and I know what holds up when it's tested.

This isn't consulting from the sideline. I roll up my sleeves, learn your organization, and work with you to develop solutions that your team can actually implement and sustain.​​​ I don't cut corners, compliance is your cornerstone after all.

 

 

 

 

BEST FOR

Healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and corporate teams navigating regulatory requirements, audits, accreditation, or governance gaps.

​

02

Enterprise Risk Management

SEE AROUND CORNERS BEFORE THEY BECOME CRISES.

​

Risk doesn't announce itself, and most organizations don't know they have a risk management gap until something goes wrong, leaving them in a reactionary revolving door of actions. I help organizations establish or mature enterprise risk management frameworks, including risk identification, internal controls, mitigation strategy, reporting infrastructure, and board-level communication.

My ERM work spans a $138B federal healthcare system, a multi-service pediatric organization, start up companies, and all types of organizations in between. I've also been honored with the ERM Notable Achievement Award by the Association for Federal Enterprise Risk Management. When you bring me in, you're getting someone who has built this function from scratch and knows what sustainable risk culture actually looks like.

 

 

BEST FOR

Healthcare systems, federal contractors, nonprofits, and any organization preparing for growth, restructuring, or increased regulatory scrutiny.

03

Strategic Preparedness & Board Readiness

YOUR BOARD SHOULD NEVER BE SURPRISED.

​

I help leadership teams and Boards prepare for the questions they haven't been asked yet. We'll do this through scenario planning, governance reviews, communication strategy, and executive briefing preparation. I've crafted briefing materials for U.S. Congressional hearings, restructured executive engagement with federal oversight bodies including OIG and GAO, and served as a trusted advisor to senior leadership in high-stakes, high-visibility situations.

You need someone to ask you the difficult and uncomfortable questions ahead of time, and that's where I come in. The same rigor I used when preparing executives for testimony comes with me into your boardroom. If there's a gap between what your Board knows and what they need to know, we're going to close it.

 

 

BEST FOR

Healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and corporate teams navigating regulatory requirements, audits, accreditation, or governance gaps.

04

Training, Workshops, & Facilitation

KNOWLEDGE THAT ACTUALLY STICKS.

​

​​

I design and deliver education that translates complex regulatory, compliance, and risk topics into practical, memorable learning for everyone from frontline staff to Boards of Directors. Training isn't a checkbox item; it's how culture gets built.

I've led national training programs with over 90% executive satisfaction ratings, launched "Risk University" for a $138B organization, and I've been a speaker and facilitator for ACHE Congress, the AGA ERM Workshop, and the American Society of Healthcare Risk Management. I bring that same energy and rigor to workshops of any size, at any level of your organization.​​​

 

​

 

BEST FOR

Teams needing compliance, risk, or leadership training; organizations preparing for accreditation; executive and Board development programs.

05

Interim Chief Compliance Officer

LEADERSHIP CONTINUITY WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.

​

Leadership gaps don't wait for convenient timing. I step into organizations — new or established — to provide executive compliance leadership during launches,, investigations, restructuring, or periods of rapid change. I've served in this capacity for multiple organizations, aligning governance, policies, and training to regulatory demands, leaving each one more prepared than when I arrived. My background and an Executive with the Veterans Health Administration means I've navigated complexity at scale. 

Interim Chief Compliance Officer services are structured with a monthly retainer and supplemental hourly rate.

 

BEST FOR

Organizations experiencing leadership transitions, preparing for regulatory review, or needing an experienced compliance leader while a permanent hire is secured.

06

Ongoing Advising & Consulting Retainer

A TRUSTED PARTNER IN YOUR CORNER — CONSISTENTLY.

​

Some of the most valuable work I do happens between projects. Anything from a question about an emerging regulatory issue, a second opinion before a Board meeting, a sounding board when a situation feels like it's escalating. Retainer partnerships give you consistent access to that kind of support without the overhead of a full-time hire to ensure that even when the project is done, my support remains.

I bring in subject matter experts in as needed, coordinate cross-functional guidance, and serve as your steady, experienced outside perspective — someone who knows your organization, understands your risk profile, and won't be figuring things out at your expense.​​

​​

BEST FOR

Small to mid-size healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and growing companies that need consistent expert guidance without a full-time executive hire.
