Clients & Collaborators
I partner with bold individuals and groups who are frustrated with the status quo and aren’t afraid to take measured risks for greater good.
I collaborate with thoughtful visionaries in various settings: urban, rural, education, government, health care, non-profit community-based organizations, advocacy and more.
I help you activate and grow your leadership capacity by supporting you in becoming the change agent you want to be. We collaborate as thought partners to navigate the context - political, social and everything in between - to bring about the big changes you want to see.
