Professional Statement

Our greatest strengths often times comes from what makes us different.

Being “different” has permeated into everything I do, from the way I see the world to the way I think through and address problems.  I’ve been in environments that have not been visibly diverse and I have personally experienced the strong headwinds that come with being a woman of color in the workplace. However through the intentional efforts in programming, training, and cultural awareness, I have seen the important role diversity and inclusivity plays in fostering the success of an organization and the communities they serve.
