News and Project Highlights

IDG-CT Possibilities Network

Deepen transformative skills for sustainable action. The IDG CT Possibilities Network brings Connecticut leaders together across sectors to explore, develop, and apply transformational skills to support a flourishing world.

Environmental Justice Community Fellows Program

At Yale, I developed and launched a fellowship for students to support community-led environmental justice initiatives, facilitating a learning cohort of students and partners. Partners reported that benefits of the program greatly outweighed the lift and led to the development of useful and usable knowledge and tools including the Land Justice and Land Trusts Toolkit and Centering Equity in Climate Change Resilience Planning in Connecticut.

Partners

The professional communities I am connected to are working for a healthy planet, equitable and participatory decision-making, thriving families and communities, and developing human capacities for collective action. This work happens in complex systems - across sectors, disciplines, and cultures - and can only happen in relationship.

For over 10 years I have worked with socio-environmental and educational organizations to foster learning cultures for potent collective action.

As a Harvard-educated socio-environmental leader, facilitator and educator, I believe that getting curious together to grapple with complex challenges can generate the mindset shifts we need to take shared action. I have partnered with interdisciplinary experts and cross-sector professionals in higher education, government, social sector organizations, and grassroots groups.

Our lived experience shapes our values and how we understand the world. By creating the conditions to share that experience, we can expand our understanding of the systems we are working in and make better choices.

My work is grounded in human development and complex systems research and influenced by Theory U, Interpersonal and Group Dynamics, Art of Hosting, Center for Leadership and Educational Equity, The Ganz Model of Organizing, and somatic practices among other facilitative traditions.
