What is your favorite form of self-care?

Kayaking and paddleboarding on lakes and in the ocean meet a lot of self-care needs (movement meditation, exercise, time in nature).

What is something that you’re learning about? 

These days, I’m in an ongoing process of unlearning and relearning – unlearning white dominant culture ways of being (especially ultra-independence) and knowing and remembering the wisdom of collectivism and interdependence that also lives within us.

Why do you do what you do?

I grew up with two nonprofit executive directors – my parents. I am called to support and champion the aspirations of mission-driven leaders who see a way to transform society so it is more accountable to our communities and are seeking an external partner to help bring that vision to life through well run organizations. My mom often says that she was my first client.
