“The past is gone and the future has not yet come. What we have is right now, the present. To believe otherwise; mull over the past and/or worry about the future; is to buy into the illusion of control, to squander the power we have now.”

What do you do?
I help organizations improve their workplaces and policies to make employees feel welcomed and proud to work at.
Why?
I do what I do because the kinks in the systems that govern the way we live has always bothered me; as a child in the education system where they teach us to judge people based on our appearances, as an adult where we are expected to accept certain rules that do not make sense. I am now in a position to be who I am, while making space for others to be who they are in the work place - and to uplift others as we go along.
