the work
Dream it.
Long before the rise of diversity and inclusion titles, I designed, executed, and delivered innovative diverse marketing campaigns, that repositioned companies as niche brands and service leaders.
Build it.
It all began with an idea…to eliminate health disparities. Thus, I have published a curriculum to address implicit errors. At approximately $93 billion in excess medical care costs and $42 billion in lost productivity per year as well as economic losses due to premature deaths, healthcare organizations can no longer wait to address health disparities.
Grow it.
High performing organizations are those that are diverse. I have developed and established processes to track diverse applicant’s movement through the hiring process, ensuring gender, race and pay equities; and, facilitated trainings to 8,000+ clinical and non-clinical employees to understand unconscious biases in order to build effective teams; being named the Chair of Diversity and Inclusion Representation Committee.
Early DEI Beginnings
Originally published in 2015, my journey in DEI began with projects on race, identity, and social and health issues in education.
“It’s time to be intentional about strategies that work with not only HR, but with leadership teams to push
into systems that underpin old social normed decisions. It’s time to design approaches that reconsider
objectives and construct plans that focus on building the foundational trust in leader-employee
relationships..”
