I build enterprise culture, DEI, and employee experience strategies that drive organizational performance.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently shaping enterprise culture, DEI, employee experience, internal communications, and leadership development at ECRI for a global distributed workforce. I built employee listening systems, a Belonging Index, and Retention Risk KPIs that bring workforce experience into leadership accountability and organizational planning.
Previously, I supported workforce strategy and DEIA priorities across 13 federal bureaus at the U.S. Department of Commerce, serving more than 55,000 employees. At Hungry Harvest and the Colorado Department of Human Services, I translated employee feedback into culture dashboards, leadership practices, and organizational decisions supporting workforces of up to 100,000 employees.
My work connects lived experience, DEI expertise, organizational strategy, and executive communications. I've guided leaders through restructures, acquisitions, divestitures, layoffs, and complex cultural conversations with curiosity, accountability, and practical solutions.
Earlier, at International Justice Mission, I led global engagement, government relations, storytelling, and partnerships across 19 international offices. I create compelling narratives and sustainable governance models that help leaders turn meaningful employee dialogue into action.
