Hi, I'm Leya.

I'm a mom of two in New York City, and I run my own fundraising consulting firm, LPM Consulting. I've spent seventeen years in nonprofit fundraising.

When I started my nonprofit fundraising consulting business, I wasn't just a fundraiser anymore. I was suddenly the CFO, operations manager and head of marketing too, doing things I'd never done before.

In mid-2024 I kept hearing people say AI had changed their lives. I figured they were either exaggerating or there was a tool I didn't know how to use. So I decided to go all in on learning it, to see if it could make a difference in my life.

Looking back, AI was the one thing that changed my work and my life more than anything else.

How I learned

Influencers, a self-guided course, YouTube, and one tool at a time. I started with ChatGPT, then built my own custom GPT, then gave Claude real context about my world, and then moved on to Claude Code and creating my own operating systems. Now Rose, my chief of staff, leads a team of 21 agents.

Why I share it

It took so much work off of my plate, but the biggest surprise was the mental load relief. I wasn't doing it alone anymore. I want to share what I've built, what broke, and what I'd change, so you can see what's possible for you too.
