PRACTICE
AREAS
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION STRATEGY
INFORMED BY A INTERSECTIONAL & DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH
I pride myself on taking an intersectional approach to all the work I do – a gender equity strategy would be unsustainable without considering how race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age and ability plays into how we show up at work. I tie all decisions to metrics.
Do you have a typical industry or organization size you work with?
I’m industry-agnostic, although the majority of my clients have been in the high-tech industry, of all sizes. I’m more interested in working with teams that are deeply passionate about this, than brands trying to “check the box.”
STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS
It’s become incumbent upon leaders to stand in solidarity with employees of immigrant and other diverse communities. I help organizations craft compelling, effective messaging on complex issues. With my background in journalism and expertise in diversity and inclusion, I feel fortunate to be entrusted with this by my clients.
Inclusion makes business sense
I'M DEEPLY PASSIONATE ABOUT
designing equitable workplaces.
I advise global organizations on creating cultures that empower employees from diverse backgrounds to bring their best selves to work.
We live in challenging times where our differences are being elevated to drive us apart.
I’m known for leveraging my deep expertise in communications to create a common language around diversity and inclusion. As a speaker and writer, I make complex topics simple and succinct. I’m proud of taking an intersectional approach, informed by data and design-thinking.
I'd love to connect!
