I bring my curiosity and compassion to make the world a better place. In doing work to change programs, policies, and systems, it is oftentimes hard to find the words to describe such emergent, complex work! These are ways I see myself showing up for the work I care about.

Brief consulting information:

• I host and facilitate conversations that matter to encourage people to share their stories, beliefs, opinions, laughter, heartaches, and dreams. I have brought together teammates, colleagues, partners, learners, and strangers in rooms where the invitations are written based on what unites and challenges them to show up.
• These conversations take shape in various forms: strategic retreats, planning sessions, community engagement, workshops, classes, meetings, gatherings, discussions.
• I see my role as working alongside those who invite me in to co-create the space for these conversations to take place, and then ensure what is learned finds its way into the shaping of their collective future.
• Concepts I practice include human-centered design, the Art of Hosting, systems change, equity, and user experience design. 
• I am a qualified administrator of the Intercultural Developmental Inventory (IDI). 
• I am skilled at navigating new contexts, and endeavor to learn as much as I can of the context I step into. That said, my prior sector-specific experiences are in human services (specifically Minnesota, state-county-nonprofit relationships, public assistance programs, family-centered work), food justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), higher education, rest movement, employee development, and nonprofit capacity building. 
• I practice what I teach, I teach what I practice. I love combining capacity building opportunities for my clients where possible. (E.g. an in-house workshop on a skill I bring to our consulting project.) Please inquire!
• I am also a graphic recorder (or visual harvester)!  
• I take in-person and virtual clients.
