Summary
A passionate change maker with 17 years of community activism, I strive for excellence in all I do. Primarily driven by a strong sense of equity, I’ve spent the bulk of my volunteer life ensuring everyone has a chance to thrive. DEI isn’t just an acronym, and woke isn’t just a catchphrase, it’s a way of life that I’ve fully embraced. Living life authentically and leading with kindness, compassion, and love is the message I always try to spread throughout my career and in the way I leads.
Perhaps most importantly I believe that group care starts with self care. I will always ensure that I’ve taken care of my own mental capacity so I have capacity to build up others.
