My Approach

I don't believe in negotiation advice that ignores the room you're walking into - race, culture, gender, disability status, socioeconomic background - these shape what we're taught to ask for, how much we're believed when we ask, and how our asks are received.

My approach draws on 15+ years of social sector leadership across fintech, philanthropy and racial justice work, pulling from my Masters in Social Work from the University of Chicago, fellowship training from the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, and deep expertise in the social science of pay equity. I bring a macro social work framework - looking at systems, not just individuals - alongside practical, actionable strategy.

This means you get coaching that's honest about barriers and equipped to navigate them. Consulting that builds organizations that actually live their values. And workshops that leave people feeling seen and building confidence, not just trained.

My work is:

• Equity & Justice Centered: Every engagement is grounded in a commitment to equity, collective action, and systemic change — alongside individual strategy.

• Evidence-Based: Grounded in social science research, labor and business market data, and up to the minute organizational best practices - not gut instinct.

• Liberatory & Trust-Based: Drawing on frameworks like systems change, liberatory leadership, trust-based philanthropy, and participatory grantmaking — and applying them to organizational strategy, leadership development, and equitable team-building.
