Not your average marketing consultant.

Marketing as a form of community care, cultural accountability, and anti-oppression work.

I’m a nationally recognized speaker, facilitator, and consultant supporting individuals, teams, and organizations in growing their work with care.

With a foundation in intersectional, anti-oppression practice and a trauma-informed lens, I help people move from intention to action—through strategic consulting, equity-centered education, and transformative conversations that meet the moment.

Whether I’m facilitating a workshop, supporting leadership behind the scenes, or working with clients individually, my work centers relationship over performance, strategy with integrity, and values embodied—not just stated.

Long-form writing reframing how we show up to grow our work and speak into the world.

Visibility is Not Neutral explores the intersection of marketing, identity, and justice. It’s a newsletter for those of us who understand that we cannot separate the personal from the political—or the professional. Here, I write about how we communicate our work, how we hold and use power, and how we can shift our business practices away from extraction and toward relationship, solidarity, and care.
