Ingrid is passionate about moving nonprofit, education-, child-, family-, and community-related organizations to operate in strategic, efficient, high impact ways. She is committed to the pursuit of improving preK-12 educational opportunities for all children and families, and the aspiration to and struggle for educational equity no matter the zip code, race, ethnicity, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, or economic class. She believes that the people impacted by plans and policies should be included and represented in the process and decision-making and brings that ethos to her community engagement work.She also believes that the world will be a better place if people are whole, which means they are healed from trauma or, ideally, that trauma is prevented in the first place.She uses her 20+ years of experience in education to help clients create mindful, meaningful processes to guide transformation that propels their organizations to more vital positions in pursuit of their missions. Ingrid understands that effective change begins with strong relationships—relationships that support honest conversations and lead organizations in bold, desirable directions. These experiences have informed Ingrid’s deep understanding of the attitudes, behaviors, and practices making social change organizations most effective. She believes that experience-driven, sector-specific knowledge is essential to truly understanding the challenges committed organizations face when developing and implementing strategies and initiatives.
