About Me

Striving for a more just, inclusive, supportive, and anti-racist world. 

Through training and consulting, I equip groups and institutions with the tools to support all members of their community. We work together to develop helping and crisis intervention skills, engage in the vital work of exploring the self and understanding others, and identify and close gaps in education and outreach around issues of mental health, equity, and social justice.  I can also lead teams through design thinking processes to develop their own solutions to unique and complex challenges.

My Experience

I have 15 years of experience as a Student Affairs professional. I have served as a Case Manager (both in the community and in higher education), deputy Title IX Coordinator, an adjunct faculty member, and a department director. I have extensive experience supporting adults with mental health challenges, teaching and training around mental health issues, creating policies, reports and public health education campaigns. 

Over the past 5 years, I have transitioned into diversity, equity and inclusion work more broadly. I currently work for a vice president for diversity and inclusion at a large public university as the program manager of a new diversity, equity and inclusion-based onboarding program for all students, faculty and staff. 

I have worked at both small private and large public institutions. I am also trained in design thinking strategies from the Stanford University d.school. 

A few of my accomplishments in the areas of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion include: 

My Identities

In this type of work, it is very important for me to acknowledge the identities I hold and provide that information transparently to those with whom I work. 

We may determine it is best to have multiple facilitators who represent identities I do not hold, and I have a network of excellent colleagues we can invite to provide the best opportunity for your group.
