About

Listener, storyteller, creative.

I believe people live amid their stories, and that reaching them requires that we learn what those are and the importance they hold to them. I’m an educator and program designer who also believes the best learning happens when people feel seen. I design wellbeing and leadership programs, build evaluation that reflects what truly matters to participants, and mentor emerging professionals as they find their own voice in this work.

I’m also a doctoral candidate in Organizational Learning and Leadership at UNC Chapel Hill. My research centers on caregivers of children with sickle cell disease, and it is close to my heart. Caregivers carry so much, and their own wellbeing is often the last thing anyone asks about. Through design-based inquiry, I’m listening to what caregivers say they need and shaping a wellbeing and resilience program together with them.

I’m a believer, a mother, a lover of words, a relational leader, a qualitative researcher, and a systems thinker. I believe the best programs are designed with people, not for them.
