“Whatever you do for me, but without me, you do against me.” - Mahatma GandhiMahatma Gandhi’s quote has served as a guiding principle in my 15+ year career as an educator, advocate, and nonprofit professional. I’m a people-first, results-oriented leader with diverse experiences supporting children and families at the individual, family, and community levels. I focus on forming strategic partnerships, leveraging assets, and addressing needs.I am a systems thinker. Whereas many people identify as either big-picture or details oriented, I thrive on the bridge that connects the vision to the execution. My strength lies in taking big goals and operationalizing them. My passion lies in empowering others and strengthening the village. My heart-work is where my skills and passion intersect.I have expertise supporting others with case management; leadership development; conflict resolution; and culturally relevant and trauma-informed teaching practices. I also have expertise supporting organizations in data analysis and reporting; program evaluation; strategic planning; and curriculum development.
