About

Thank you for visiting. My name is Dustin MacDonald. I’m a current Business Analyst and former Nonprofit Program Manager, Crisis Chat/Crisis Distress Line Worker and Data Analyst.

I write about various interests including:

  • Counselling and Service Delivery
  • Economic and Community Development
  • Math and Statistics
  • Nonprofit Management
  • Suicide Prevention / Crisis Intervention
  • Politics and Governance
  • Salesforce

I’m based in the City of Sigourney, Iowa in Keokuk County (and formerly from Toronto, Canada) so my politics and governance writings generally focus on this area as well.
