Project Management + Executivie Coaching + Capacity Building + Communications + Collective Impact
I am a Human Resources Manager at Multnomah County and a Senior Consultant with Tusk specializing in developing trauma-informed processes to achieve collective impact. I have a talent for sticking with hard conversations, navigating ambiguity and helping others manage the discomfort of change, adaptation, and social innovation. I believe in developing trauma-informed organizational cultures that embody justice, authenticity, and transformation, and which promote belonging.
Currently accepting coaching clients for Fall 2019.
