a little more about me
i am an outreach and equity consultant committed to centering decolonial, land-based and trauma-informed practices in my work to integrate considerations for BIPOC and working class populations into equity and digital media strategies for community healing + wellness programs.
i also have a background in southeastern woodlands herbalism, and entheogenic plants and fungi. as an advocate + educator for sacred medicines, i am actively working to decolonize the “psychedelic renaissance”.
some of the highlights of my career include:
co-authoring “The Material Risks of Gender-Based Violence in Emergency Settings” an opportunity brief, alongside Criterion Institute and UNICEF;
co-authoring “Addressing Capital’s Effects on Racial Justice: How Investments Drive Injustice and What Investor’s Can Do About It” a discussion briefing with Transform Finance;
serving as a media specialist for Canada’s largest climate finance justice campaign with Stand.earth;
leading communications and digital media for leading non-profit DEI consulting firm Beloved Community;
and appearing on several live series, panels and podcasts to uplift indigenous wisdom in modern psychedelics, including: Archaveda Podcast, Embodying Decolonial Truths, The Microdosing Institute, Trip On This with Kat Walsh, and The Werk Podcast.
