Experiential Learning
Learning by doing, through inquiry, reflection, analysis, and synthesis.
A little about me.
Since I was a young child, I've been obsessed with creating experiences for others — gatherings where people leave feeling slightly more themselves, a little more connected, a little more alive.
From cultivating growth within an SEO agency to leading creativity and marketing at a social impact brand, I've designed an eclectic and expansive career for myself (and changed my hair 10x along the way). I've collaborated with innovative minds at a social good incubator and co-founded a Relationship Mindfulness company that brought relational skills to teams at Google, Facebook, Viacom, Patagonia, Squarespace, and more.
Life has shown me that our relationships determine the quality of our life, and as a result I've devoted my time to architecting transformational environments where people and communities can be themselves and grow together.
My life is oriented to being of service, and offering my gifts wherever and whenever I can. It'd be an honor to create something together.
Six lenses I bring to every engagement.
02
Creative Arts & Play
Drawing from The Artist's Way, immersive theatre, and the power of narrative.
03
Emergent Facilitation
Authentic Relating, Liberating Structures, and Carl Rogers' client-centered approach.
04
Body Intelligence
Trauma-informed practices that bring the wisdom of the body into the conversation.
05
World-Building
Designing through place, language, aesthetic, and myth.
06
Rite of Passage
Honoring initiation, sacred journeys, and the ritual significance of moments.
Here's what I've learned.
Three observations from a decade in the field.
Note 01
You don't always have time for what matters.
Every People team has high-priority, high-complexity work that's just out of reach due to bandwidth and would benefit from a fresh perspective. The logistics tend to come first, leaving the human connection piece for the end of a planning process.
Note 02
Relationships are the force multiplier of engagement.
Every culture has its own relational DNA: the unspoken norms, quirks, and dynamics that either fuel or drain performance. Investing in those relationships and proactively shaping culture is the highest-leverage thing a People team can do.
Note 03
One experience, designed well, can fuel a team for a year.
Camaraderie and folklore are rarely born on Zoom. The ROI of a transformational experience compounds long after everyone goes home, providing fuel for the long work days ahead.
