Antidotes for the Times

These are some of the ways I approach the challenges and possibilities that emerge when people, ideas, and systems meet:

• Translating ideas into clear communication, thoughtful processes, and tangible action

• Finding the connections between how an organization works behind the scenes and how it shows up in the world

• Bringing curiosity, creativity, and a practical eye to complex challenges, making space for both new ideas and workable solutions

• Drawing on different perspectives and experiences to question assumptions and discover possibilities that might otherwise be missed

Root System

Some of the experiences, places, and perspectives that have shaped how I work:

• 25+ years of experience across a diverse range of sectors, including nonprofit, technology, healthcare, education, hospitality, agriculture, finance and more

• A career spanning marketing, communications, operations, research, events, customer service, program development, research and administration 

• Seven years as Head of Operations at a leading digital marketing agency in the UK, bringing together people, processes, and strategy 

• An MBA in International Organizations and a degree in Psychology, informing my interest in how people think, relate, make decisions, and work together

• International experiences, including volunteering with humanitarian organizations and working alongside communities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America

• A belief that the most useful answers rarely exist in isolation, and that the intersection of ideas from different parts of a system - or different systems altogether - can open up new ways forward
