The work I do as a gender equity advisor is centered on helping clients understand their barriers to achieving gender equity, developing plans to address their specific obstacles, and advising them on the best approach to make the changes needed and create the impact they seek.

Over the course of my career, I've spent decades developing deeply relevant experience in increasing gender equity as a result of my work in applying business insights and people-centered leadership to build inclusive teams and cultures. One of the most gratifying outcomes of engaging in this work is cultivating equitable environments that enable everyone to thrive, especially those in underrepresented groups.

In my last corporate position as divisional CIO for Farmers Insurance, my focus on culture and equity played a large part in transforming the IT operation from a production-focused legacy operation to a mission-centered modern organization enabled by a culture of empowerment, equity, inclusion, and innovation, improving employee engagement and customer retention along the way.

As a result of these experiences, and in my work as a cultural anthropologist, I have honed an enduring passion for championing the advancement of women in the workplace, which now serves as the mission for my company. I bring this passion to each client I work with, where our collaborations are centered on elevating the careers and outcomes for those they employ and serve.
