Who I am:
A third culture kid, with big hair and even bigger dreams who seeks to bring a global lens to work that helps leaders optimize their influence so that they are equipped to lead from every seat they sit in.
What I do:
Leadership Development Pro
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Culture work that center psychological safety, connectedness & belonging and meaning (the highest level of happiness)
Personal and Professional Growth Experiences that Center Women of Color.
Why I do it:
I want The Ellevate Collective to be a household name that is known for making leadership accessible, transformational and applicable. Access without support is still oppression. Let’s ensure that leaders, especially women leaders across the land feel supported to become the leaders they were always meant to be and become a source for power and innovation.
Words I live by:
A remarkable leader is one who produces another leader who can produce another leader who can produce ANOTHER leader!
