All workshops and programs are customized to your community’s or team’s unique needs:

Each step of the process is collaborative to ensure your team feels seen. I take time to get to know you and your desired learning outcomes, as well as team dynamics.

All of my curriculum centers themes of power dynamics, somatics, and accessibility.

I have experience working with everyone from large foundations + their grantees to small community groups. I offer one-off workshops, as well as capacity building programs!
