Highly driven and confident DEI professional with proven experience in managing multiple projects through strong program design, development, execution, measurement and stakeholder engagement skills. I prioritize genuine connections with internal teams and external partners, and am focused on building and strengthening community. I am relentlessly passionate about racial, social, disability, gender, LGBTQIA+ and economic justice and I love engaging with others working toward reimagining a more equitable world.I am hopeful that a better future is possible for all of us and I believe that empathy, courage and resilience are key traits needed in this increasingly unpredictable world, both at the individual and institutional levels.I love what I do because I have the opportunity to invite my colleagues to think about things from different perspectives and learn about historical context and current day realities of inequality and injustices. In my opinion, the ultimate goal is that we reimagine cultural norms to be more inclusive and abundant - there are more than enough resources to share and care for each other. Grateful for the professional community that has supported me throughout my career, Portland has been kind to me and in return I remain committed to returning the favor.
