She began her career at McKinsey & Company, spending four years advising organizations on growth strategy.

She later founded Neighborly Strategies to partner with community-oriented teams, creative ventures, and nonprofits to untangle complexity, align around purpose, and turn bold, values-driven ideas into intentional action through deeply collaborative and responsive strategy. 

Across her in-house and consulting roles, Tiffany has worked with schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to strengthen alignment, decision-making, and the capacity to move from strategy to implementation.

Her approach brings together analytical rigor, creative thinking, and participatory process design. She is committed to helping leaders make thoughtful, meaningful choices, build structures that support lasting change, and create more equitable, learner-centered institutions where people can thrive.
