About

I’m an organization development specialist, facilitator, and systems thinker with 25 years of experience helping organizations and communities work together more effectively. I hold a Master’s in Organization Development and have led strategic planning, training, program development, and stakeholder engagement across corporate, nonprofit, government, education, and international settings.I enjoy bringing people together to understand what’s working, where projects are getting stuck, and what it will take to move forward. My work has included developing companywide environmental policy and communications across more than 10 business units at The Walt Disney Company; leading community programs through Aranya Solutions; and coordinating partners around food systems and resilience in Hawaiʻi. I’m especially interested in senior organization development, training, facilitation, and program leadership roles. Across these roles, my aim is the same: to build strong partnerships, practical systems, and programs that help people and communities thrive.
