Experience:

  •  Provided foundational support for the Intercultural Competence and Undoing Racism Team at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary by facilitating rigorous dialogues around intercultural competence and systemic racism, and utilizing the IDI™ (Intercultural Development Inventory™) as a framework for understanding individual and organizational intercultural competence and racism.
  • Facilitated online World Cafe conversation during the Thought Leadership Conference hosted by South Bend Community Schools on the topic of disproportionality.
  • Facilitated dozens of dialogues for the Community Relations Commission of Goshen (Indiana) for the purpose of defining its mission and purpose, and for the community to be able to name its vision for the future of Goshen in regards to diversity, equity and inclusion. CRC
  • Introduced the IDI™ to Columinate consultants as a way to lay the foundation for both professional and organizational growth and development towards the ends of becoming an anti-racist organization and integrating the lens of anti-racism into all the work that is done by and through Columinate.
