I help audiences understand how policy, leadership, and culture shape real people’s lives.
I show up in moments of tension, transition, and public debate to bring clarity, context, and accountability.
Media professionals call on me when a story needs more than a quote. It needs understanding.
I am a senior equity and leadership executive, public scholar, and executive coach.
I serve as Executive Vice President of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility and Leadership Development at a national public media organization.
I am also the President of St. Pete Pride, one of the largest Pride organizations in the southeastern United States, where I lead community safety strategy, public policy engagement, and coalition-building during a period of escalating political pressure on LGBTQ+ communities.
