Let’s work together to make American Dreams reality

The joy, hope, optimism, and resilience I’ve witnessed in my immigrant and refugee students not only reshaped my world view, but reaffirmed my faith in the American Dream. From my experience, it is undeniable that communities benefit as much from our newest foreign born neighbors as we do from the families whose names adorn street signs.

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

Let’s Work Together

I offer a variety of services with a focus on community, culture, collaboration and inclusion. Inspired by my experience, education, observations, and commitment to social justice, I firmly believe everyone benefits when we invest in making American Dreams reality.

Educational Best Practices

Let me help you streamline services and create a pathway to literacy and success.
 

Empathy 101

Using the stories and experiences of my former students and their families, this professional development opportunity will shed light on the realities immigrants face before, during, and after resettling in the United States.

Advocacy in Action

Let's develop a plan to tackle the local, state, and national institutional and cultural barriers standing in the way of  your entity meeting its full potential.

Cultural Awareness Training

Let’s work together and enlighten your staff about how cultural competency doesn’t just lead to a better work environment, but improves their community as a whole. 
 

Reckoning

Let’s work together to identify the unintentional barriers that exist in  your institution and bring them down through policy, culture, and a work environment committed to social justice.

closing the belief gap

As a facilitator I will guide your team through a group brainstorm to identify ways in which single stories or sterotypes are hindering opportunities of equity and access for traditionally marginalized populations within your institution.
