My first-generation identity as the daughter of a Liberian mother and Zimbabwean father has contributed to my strong interests in anti-racism, decolonization, diversity, equity, and inclusion in both US and international communities.

Having studied, traveled, lived, and worked in six continents in my lifetime, I have learned that balancing profitability and productivity with sustainable operations and social responsibility greatly benefits both national and international clients and the communities they serve.

My goal for all my clients — individuals, corporations, non-profits, governmental, or NGOs — is to support their long-term success by helping them align with environmentally sound and socially responsible core values, including anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, all towards creating socially and economically equitable communities. In this way, they can reduce the possibility of unforeseen risks that could hamper efficiency, diminish value and reputation, and bring exposure to legal and regulatory liability.  I am eager to assist them in finding their way forward through sustainable operational practices.
