My Bio

​

I am:

• Excited about empowering coaching clients to embody their values and be the leaders they want to be in a world that needs great leadership.

• Exceptionally skilled at guiding complex dialogues on topics ranging from anti-racism and systems of oppression to team dynamics and intercultural communication.

• Constantly managing complex multifaceted projects from ideation to completion while deconstructing exploitative workplace practices and reclaiming holistic human centered approaches to getting things done.

• Experienced working with multi-racial, multigenerational and multicultural groups in nonprofits and faith-based organizations.

• Relational, empathetic, and collaborative in the work and the people I work with. 

• An Enneagram 9, INFJ, Strengths: Connectedness, Empathy, Individualization, Input, Relator

​

I envision a world where people work together to leverage their collective wisdom and harness their collective power to overcome seemingly intractable problems. As a biracial Japanese White cis-het able bodied immigrant from Canada I bring a nuanced, both/and lens to all I do.

​

And if you're wondering, I have a BA in History from the University of British Columbia and a MA in International Education from the SIT Graduate Institute. I've worked for international nonprofits and in the educational sector for most of my career. I dislike social media and going to events where I don't know anyone. I love my family, traveling, the beach and mystery novels.
