A change agent educator for equity and inclusion through social justice, community development, and the development of civic-mindedness for communities, college students, youth, and adults aims to cultivate active citizenship, engagement, and conscious practices for social transformation. I appreciate data informed decision-making and strive to bring the best in analytics and analytical thought to fostering change and growth for individuals and organizations.Across my professional and personal growth since the mid-1980’s when I first developed consciousness about social justice and organizational development issues, my organizing philosophy addresses this question:  what does it mean to co-exist with people who are different and how do we create the conditions to thrive? My life’s work has been a series of efforts to engage this question, address it, and effect culture change. These are organizing principles that comprise the architecture of my action plan.1. Leading institutional and individual inquiry toward culture change requires intentional and purposeful planning and thinking informed by solid data and evidence-based practices.Devoting my work in the higher education areas of  faculty development, diversity education, and assessment for campus and community capacity building.  Translating philosophy, critical race theory, feminism, and peace studies has inspired engagement and thinking in the design and delivery of community and leadership trainings and one-on-one professional development around critical thinking, applied learning, and anti-oppression shifts of difference-based injustice.  2. Applying critical consciousness, cultural humility, and leading with kindness requires both reflexive and strategic thinking.I have successfully applied my academic training in foundations of education, feminist epistemology, and critical theory within higher education administration to produce authentic learning experiences which advance transformative education and foster a culture of critical consciousness around equity and inclusion in my contributions to institutional capacity building, strategic planning, and program development.3. Guidance through a lens of kindness, compassion, and intellectual humility requires being ready both to admit you might be wrong and to lead with empathy and care-full attention.My responsive acumen to assess circumstances and design processes born out of years of adaptive flexibility are among the skills used daily as a teacher, project manager, supervisor, researcher, and administrator.
