As a changemaker, my work promotes the holistic development and advancement of all.Â
I help groups and individuals identify growth opportunities and navigate sustainable change, paying special attention to those with historically marginalized abilities and identities.
Speaking & Facilitation
In speeches, presentations, workshops, and interviews, I invite people to operate with authenticity, grapple with systems, and connect across differences. I also help identify and improve organizational efforts connected to equity and inclusion.
Additionally, I design and facilitate generative spaces for learning and growth. Learning topics include intergroup relations, multimodal storytelling, and mixed-methods research. Coaching spaces support life transitions through meditative and integrative practices.
