On a cold February morning in 6th grade I was surprised to be called to the principal's office. It turns out my family was pulling me from school, and I was about to discover my passion for self-directed learning and community building. After a few years given free rein to purse my own wide-ranging interests, I thrived in unique institutions that emphasized peer dialogue, practical application, and servant leadership. From helping build a greenhouse and mediating disputes at boarding school, to founding student governance programs while studying psychology at Naropa University, to conducting a community stakeholder analysis during my studies in organizational development at Antioch University Seattle, my training and drive is to work with and for people to make a meaningful difference in our communities and organizations.My achievements include founding a non-profit organization and a private coaching practice, delivering a range of client-centered projects, and leading teams to do the same in property management and high tech. I am especially proud of the many events I've organized throughout, from officiating 5 weddings to hosting 300-person rooftop parties, leading interactive virtual workshops to facilitating strategic planning sessions. I am honored to have recently accepted a position with City of Tulsa's Office of Community Development. I couldn't be happier to have been given this opportunity to apply my energy and talents towards affecting positive people-centered change at the local level. I welcome invitations to connect around common subjects of interest and to develop partnerships on behalf of communities here in the City of Tulsa.
Listed skills include Leadership Development, Organizational Development, Leadership, Workshop Facilitation, and 26 others.
