Diversity and inclusion

This page provides an overview of my experience working to promote corporate diversity and inclusion.

Background and education

My learning journey on topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion is a lifelong one. I have completed a number of courses and recognized certifications to help understand these topics. However, my real learning has come from the many conversations I've had with individuals from different backgrounds who have shared their experience.
