JEDI

Passionate and effective DEI leader with ample years of experience in creating, developing, implementing, and facilitating DEI strategies, communications, trainings, and initiatives. My approach to DEI is rooted in authenticity, keeping a learning + growth mindset, and meeting individuals and organizations where they’re at without judgement and a focus on scaling for maturity.

I provide a healthy emphasis on cross-cultural education, appealing and accessible engagement, application of a Justice lens, and integrating DEI into all we do. I have performed successfully in my DEI roles due to my strong project/program management skills, my innate passion for authentic DEI+J work, and my background in social impact, philanthropy, and sociocultural anthropology studies.

Below you will find details & various examples of my JEDI work.
