Over the past 25 years, I've held various roles focused on creating social purpose, value and stakeholders engagement. These experiences have allowed me to research and develop insights into the ethical and organizational requirements for modern public and social services. My work evolved mostly around social innovation, equitable service design, digital rights preservation, and virtual work. These experiences have reinforced my belief that purpose and meaning at work are necessary but must be intentionally created and carefully maintained. With this I've also provided coaching and consulting services to women-led social enterprises, which has grounded my thinking in practical, operational and prioritized approaches.

 

My professional background includes: academia, teaching, knowledge management, libraries and archives. oral history collections, community events, conference management, philanthropy, fundraising, advocacy, communication and impact storytelling. My educational background includes: Master's in Information and Environmental Sciences (University of Toronto), Linguistics and Literature (UNIRI), organizational social purpose development and implementation and purpose coaching. I've also contributed or led initiatives addressing information access and censorship in urban and multicultural environments. Currently, my research interests are focused on platform economy, workplace purpose/purpose economy, and alignment with global measurement frameworks (BCorp, SDGs, ISO 37000, IDGs). 

​

As an avid student of eclectic knowledge, I've developed my own theories on societal decline and community recovery. My expertise spans formal disciplines like Change Management, Non-Profit Governance, Fundraising and Management (Harvard Business School Management). I also draw from social economy and human potential fields, including Impact Measurement, Participatory Evaluation, Appreciative Inquiry, and Strategic Foresight, to name a few. Additionally, my other interests in, for example, Yoga and Meditation (Teacher Diploma) or Shiatsu informed my consulting practice, offering a holistic approach to addressing societal challenge (my other work: Dharma Journeys).​

​

In all my endeavors, I hoped I will strive for curiosity and (radical!) hope while supporting people's potential to grow and contribute to their communities. I'm always eager to meet new people and discuss our experiences. What lessons do we have about how to grow sustainable?

How do we preserve our sanity and sense of purpose in the midst of the socio-political crisis we live in? Optimism?

In what ways do we choose to serve others?
