Create community-driven work that is functioning effectively

I believe your organization already has the existing frameworks, expertise, and ideas that can lead to deep community change. I strive to set your equitable visions into motion by building power and capacity within your organization. Work alongside me – and together we can create a plan and build the tools needed to turn your visions into reality.

My goal is to build long-term sustainability for an organization's work that has meaningful and lasting impacts on individuals’ ability to have thriving lives — working with organizations to co-create and execute plans to change systems by evaluating existing work, identifying needs, and working together to create tools and frameworks in order to set equitable visions into motion.

At the forefront of my consulting work is the drive to create systems change through the fostering of community power. I am committed to working with organizations who work to support larger movements that build power in our communities; and shift dominant and exclusive systems.
