Thanks for your interest!

As a career teacher, facilitator, and leader, I have developed and led organizational change processes for corporate and non-profit organizations.  My background in issues of equity, inclusion, and instructional leadership in schools has developed into a lifelong interest in what can occur when groups of disparate thinkers are aligned and engaged in complex work, searching for possible solutions.

I hold an M.A. in Educational Leadership and a B.A. in Art History, both from Mills College in Oakland, CA. I am certified to administer the MBTI (Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator) Instrument, the FIRO-B, and the Drexler-Sibber Team Performance Indicator. I am also experienced in appreciative inquiry models, World Café, Open Space, restorative justice models, and narrative inquiry and theory.
