Seeding Resilience
For values-driven small businesses and organizations, I develop leadership capacity through creative facilitation and impactful advising.
Interdependence
I lend my hands to mission-driven organizations to co-create projects that make communities more resilient and just.
Just like a tomato plant needs a trellis to develop the most fruits, organizations need support to reach their full potential.
I offer facilitation services to allow organizations meet and make plans more effectively.
For small business and nonprofit leaders, I offer one-on-one advising to develop leadership skills, manage transitions, and build resilience.
My approach is compassionate, creative, and grounded in my lived experience as a small business owner and nonprofit leader.
My professional certifications and experiences include:
North American Food Systems Network AgriCluster Resilience and Expansion (ACRE) Facilitator
Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Fellow (2024-2026)
Mental Health First Aid Certified (2024)
American Farmland Trust Land Access Trainer
