About Me

I’m an internationally recognized policy advocate, communications specialist, researcher, and movement builder with more than 30 years of experience researching and organizing for human rights, social justice, and inclusive democracy. With particular expertise in LGBTQI+ human rights and refugee & migration justice, my work sits at the intersection of policy advocacy, narrative strategy, capacity building, and international coalition leadership. 

My expertise spans policy analysis, strategic communications, qualitative research, leadership development, and convening thought leaders to generate shared solutions.

My mission is to strengthen inclusive, democratic societies and ensure that marginalized communities have the resources, protection, and dignity they deserve. I’m looking for consulting projects where I can partner with global NGOs, foundations and other philanthropic bodies, multilateral institutions, democracy initiatives, or other organizations focused on inclusion, social justice, and civil society.
