Where the Rubber Meets the Road.

I’m passionate about inclusion and creating spaces for all brains, bodies, and backgrounds. My expertise in educating diverse learners, lived experience as a neurodivergent, disabled and trans human, and the stories of folks in the global majority motivate me to make change.

I founded Advocates Empowered to help organizations and individuals create accessibility for the most marginalized. Whether it’s challenging those around me to be more inclusive, or training organizations and teams, I’m always figuring out how to make the circle bigger.

From growing up as a minority in the complex web of colonization to solo traveling across the globe as a third culture kid, I’ve often struggled defining what “home” means.

I’ve found the same to be true for many queer, trans, neurodivergent, disabled and other marginalized folks. I’ve been studying community through an anti-colonial lens and striving to learn what belonging actually looks like through the lens of intersectionality. Come join me on the journey.

Learning how to share our stories and advocate for what we need is one of the most challenging things for folks to do, especially those of us who grew up in cultures or environments that did not allow us to safely be ourselves.

With 7 years of leadership development experience, a background in teaching, and a certified neurodiversity coach, I‘m passionate about helping people understand what they need and how to communicate it. I focus on these four areas:

Self-Advocacy at Work

Executive Function & Organization

Career Growth & Communication

Community & Daily Life
