About

I bring extensive expertise in strategy, facilitation, curriculum development, instructional design and project management across GEDI, anti-racism, and intercultural engagement. I am a recognized specialist in international development and capacity building, with a proven track record of leading multi-country projects and building relationships with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds.

I design and deliver GEDI training, foster stakeholder engagement, mentor teams, and develop systems to track progress and measure impact. My work spans organizations like ICAO, Elevate Aviation, UN Environment Programme, NAIT, NorQuest, and CIEE, where I create inclusive policies, train-the-trainer programs, and intercultural learning experiences.
