Building Futures Rooted in Safety, Dignity, and Liberation
I partner with mission-driven nonprofits and community groups to transform workplace culture, create trauma-informed and harm-reduction-centered policies, strengthen equity in hiring, and design restorative pathways that support both staff and residents.
My work centers:
liberatory organizational design
trauma-informed and harm-reducing policy building
restorative justice process design
leadership and supervisor coaching
staff and resident listening sessions
sustainable culture change across teams
I help organizations bridge the gap between values and practice, ensuring policies, procedures, and daily interactions align with safety, equity, and community care.
