I am an experienced and innovative facilitator/trainer/consultant, working with organisations on cultural change, offering a non-tick-box approach to the complexity of systems, conflict, diversity, equity, and inclusion. My approach is emergent and conversational, always based upon the context of the organisation itself and the challenges being faced.

Bio
I am a white-passing, English-Spanish-indigenous heritage, Colombian-USer. Born and raised in the United States, I spent 17 years in England before moving to Colombia in 2020, where my grandmother and many uncles and cousins live.
My background includes being an economics lecturer, an interfaith minister of spiritual counselling, founder of a refugee and asylum seeker organisation, project coordinator for Education for Sustainable Development in UK universities, a hospice volunteer, founder of a Transition Town in England, trainer for Extinction Rebellion International and UK, a volunteer coordinator for an AIDS organisation, and communications coordinator for Deep Adaptation Forum.
I consider myself a communitarian-anarchist, having seen that states are not responding appropriately to the unfolding crises over the centuries, and that oppression is at the root. I am mother to a 15-year old activist-on-a-break. My teachers and inspiration include: Harsha Walia, Mariame Kaba, Kelly Hayes, Andy Fisher, John P Clark, Peter Gelderloos, and Miki Kashtan.
