My Approach
​
Client and relationship-centered
I want to know what makes your organization tick. I invest in getting to know the passion and ambition behind organizations ​in order to best strategize and evaluate impact.
​
Forward-looking
As part of my work, I always seek to be forward-looking and proactive in turning challenges into opportunities for learning and growth. Unrelenting and slightly annoying optimist.
​
Equity-driven
Understanding gaps in access or program experience against folks lived realities, and multi-layered identities is crucial. Im inspired by intersectional feminist frameworks and seek to apply them both personally and professionally.
