From a Safe Haven to Global Transformation 

As a young girl, school was my refuge – a place of growth, learning, and safety amidst uncertainty. We all need those types of environments to thrive. My lived experiences inspires me to develop approaches  for healing and equity that support individuals and organizations worldwide. Through my work, I aim to create pathways to understanding, collaboration, and cultural transformation for all.

“In all meaningful moments, there are catalyst events that raise us up and call us to action.”
