Mission
To help organizations and communities prevent violence and harm by building knowledge, skills, and capacity through public health and conflict resolution approaches.
Vision
Organizations, communities, and a society where everyone can live and work free from violence and harm.
Building a Safer, Healthier Workplace
I help organizations prevent harm and create healthy workplace climates, especially for marginalized staff. My work combines public health violence prevention with diversity, equity, and inclusion to change both behavior and organizational culture.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I’m a certified community health worker and Georgetown University adjunct faculty member with more than 17 years of experience in public health and violence prevention, and I hold a Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution from Georgetown. In 2019, I experienced whistleblower retaliation, which changed how I wanted to use my expertise in culture and systems change. I saw that organizations can’t protect the people they serve without also protecting their staff.
My goal is to create environments where the most marginalized can thrive, both in our communities and in the workplace. We can’t pour from empty cups. When we take care of employee well-being, the good work will follow.

Why Education Comes First
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Mandela
Education is the foundation of my approach, and lasting change also requires strong policies and practices. I help organizations build on what staff learn so that change continues after the training ends.
