I have extensive experience in leading the consultative development, facilitating community engagement and coordinating the system-wide implementation of diversity and intercultural strategic plans. Working top-down, bottom-up, or unravelling the maze of the middle, I have delivered results in some of the most complex and bureaucratic organizations in Canada.

My promise is to deliver interactive engagements that are inspirational, applicable, practical and immediate. I believe professional development can be more than workshops. Real impact around diversity, inclusion and intercultural understanding requires a "lifestyle change" that is supported by an investment in people and practical resources.
