“This moving away from comfort and security, this stepping out into what is unknown, uncharted and shaky – that’s called liberation.”
— Pema Chödrön
Consultation, Facilitation, and Training
I am an equity-focused social work professional with an unwavering commitment to dismantling racism and other intersecting forms of oppression and their impacts on mental health and wellbeing within my spheres of influence.
PARAGRAPH ON LENS I BRING TO THIS WORK, EXPERIENCE, ETC.
I have twenty years of professional and volunteer experiences ranging from intensive support services to complex program and policy administration, multi-disciplinary team development and facilitation, personnel management, strategic planning and implementation, and systems change management work.
One of the most vital components of my advocacy work has been rooted in actively and authentically engaging with individuals, families, and communities most impacted by systems of inequity and complex trauma and centralizing their voices and lived experiences in the change process. My leadership draws on community expertise, data, and evidence-based best practices and is demonstrated through action, follow through, humility, and accountability.
TAKES HARD WORK BUT THE REWARD IS BELONGING.
