ABOUT ME

Over the past 20 years, I've held various roles focused on creating social value and engaging stakeholders. This experience has allowed me to research and develop insights into the ethical and organizational requirements for modern public and social services. My work has involved social innovation, equitable service design, digital rights preservation, and fair work practices. These experiences have reinforced my belief that purpose and meaning at work are intentionally created and maintained. I've also provided coaching and consulting services to women-led social enterprises, which has grounded my thinking in practical, prioritized approaches.

 

My professional background includes: - Academic teaching - Knowledge management in libraries and archives - Oral history collections - Event and conference management - Fundraising and advocacy - Communication and impact storytelling - Knowledge mobilization.

 

I've contributed to initiatives addressing information access and censorship in urban and multicultural environments. Currently, my research focuses on the platform economy, workplace purpose, and alignment with global measurement frameworks (BCorp, SDGs, ISO 37000, IDGs). My educational background includes: - Master's in Information and Environmental Sciences (University of Toronto) - Linguistics and Literature (UNIRI) - Organizational social purpose development and implementation - Purpose coaching.

​

As an avid collector of diverse knowledge, I've developed theories on societal decline and potential recovery. My expertise spans formal disciplines like Change Management, Non-Profit Governance, and Fundraising, complemented by a Harvard Business School Management Certificate (CORe). I also draw from social economy and human potential fields, including Social Impact Measurement, Participatory Evaluation, and Appreciative Inquiry. Additionally, my Yoga and Meditation Teacher Diploma informs my consulting practice, offering a holistic approach to addressing societal challenge. My consulting practice is called Dharma Journeys. ​

​

In my endeavors, I strive to maintain curiosity and hope while supporting people's potential to contribute to their communities. I'm always eager to discuss your experiences. What lessons have you learned about sustainable personal growth? How do you preserve your sense of purpose and optimism? In what ways do you choose to serve others?
