What I Do
I build capacity to create safe, respectful and inclusive environments, including workplaces, organizations and communities, free of sexual and gender-based harassing behaviours and gender-based violence.
I offer workshops, policy development, implementation coaching and other services that push thought leadership and advocacy.
Leading from a service and heart-centred place, I work nationally and globally.
My approach is rooted in creative facilitation, human rights education and global subject-matter expertise, drawing on this unique blend to serve you wherever you are in your journey.
Building Relationships
In an industry where gender equality and harassment prevention are often approached as a checklist or merely a legal obligation, I approach my work from a heart-centred place, combined with subject matter expertise, empowering you to build BOTH accountable policies AND positive relationships.
