Dr. Ortega provides one-on-one consultation, coaching, small group facilitation, training, webinars, learning collaboratives, best practices, resources and tools for Federal and State agencies and their grantees, and others working in partnership with our public and private sector clients.

Dr. Ortega begins with a comprehensive needs assessment and/or focus group to identify strengths, challenges, and desired outcomes. With our staff and implementation team, she guides participants through a series of exercises and discussions. She helps develop strategies and implementation.
