Here’s the thing: I spend my days helping organizations and businesses live their values.

So, it’s only fair I do the same.

My approach is explicitly feminist and anti-racist.

I am a network weaver who believes in the power of connection.

  • Simply put: change takes a village. No one can create it on their own.

I believe failure builds resiliency.

  • I believe that big change can only happen if we break up with perfectionism.

  • Letting go of fear of failure allows for innovation.

  • Messiness is part of the process.
