I believe that we can create a better future of work that is grounded in our collective humanity and belonging. Working in and across industries, I see insights and moments in the in-between, those interstitial connections, where people feel connected to their work and each other in remote, hybrid, and in-person environments.
Being an only child and a first-generation American gave me the skills to connect with and understand others. Summers in India contrasted with my life in suburban DC and exposed me to issues of inequity, which instilled in me a strong sense of service and being an agent of change. Living in the in-between, the tension between being an only and that of belonging is where I find my agency, empathy, and commitment to creating inclusive communities and workplaces.
Investing in leadership and talent holds the key to creating community in the workplace, strong employee experiences, and increasing interaction among people of different backgrounds. Using empathy and strategy I have coached thousands of job seekers, entrepreneurs, and organizations to help them create a better future of work.
My multi-passionate interests and my strong sense of curiosity have led me to work in social impact, higher education, start-ups, and workforce development. On any given day, I am a facilitator, consultant, creator and host of SIPS & Leadership, CliftonStrengths coach, educator, and board member. I am pursuing a PhD in Leadership and Change where my research is focused on understanding the ecosystem of belonging in the workplace.
In addition to savoring my craft, I feed my creativity (literally) through exploring food markets, cooking, travel, and dining. My biggest adventure is that of a parent to an active and curious tween in NYC.
