More than anything, I care deeply about people and systems. This led me to study business anthropology, build evidence-based expertise in corporate people and culture, and to a 15+ year career helping Fortune 1000 companies and leaders answer: “how do we get here?" & “what do we need?"
Working for Catalyst, Riot Games, and Nike, I specialized in diversity, equity, and inclusion as a talent & HR strategist, integrating people, culture analytics and program design across the HR ecosystem. As a trusted partner to CHROs and senior tech leaders, I've designed and facilitated programs for teams navigating their most challenging moments - where behaviors don't match values, engagement is low, and burnout was prevalent without intervention or data to diagnose.
Through this work, I saw a big strategic gap: corporate leaders were ignoring their body's signals about stress, disagreement, and the need for change. High-pressure environments created performative relationships and interpersonal harm, especially because we were dishonest about who we are at work. Societal trauma became something to manage rather than be felt. The cost on people’s health and well-being is staggering and urgent.
After 6 years of intensive study of somatics and becoming an ICF-certified coach, I am grateful to now coach and train leaders to develop embodied intelligence - a form of leadership that integrates physical, mental, and emotional awareness.
Whether I am designing a talent strategy, facilitating a training, or coaching 1:1, my work centers the belief that 1) our workplaces should strengthen communities, 2) our coworker is our comrade not our competition, and 3) we must stand up for the dignity and care for all people and this beautiful planet.
That is a leadership intelligence, vision, and practice that I am committed to making possible. Thank you for the opportunity.
