Inclusive Events Start With Intention And Impact
Inclusion isn’t a checkbox. It’s a commitment to creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and welcomed, every step of the way.
As a DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility) Event Consultant based in Kjipuktuk (Halifax), I support organizations, event producers, and community builders in designing events that reflect the beautifully diverse world we live in.
Whether you are organizing a conference, team retreat, or community event, my work ensures that your event doesn’t just meet standards, it sets them.
What I Bring to the Table
✔ Local Insight & Global Perspective - Born and raised in Kjipuktuk (Halifax), I bring a deep, personal connection to the city’s vibrant creative and community scenes. With both lived and professional experience, I understand the challenges and opportunities that come with working here and how to amplify voices that are often underrepresented.
✔ Action-Oriented Strategies - No fluff, no jargon. Just practical tools, clear plans, and compassionate support to make your event meaningfully inclusive and accessible from the inside out.
✔ Community-Driven & Values-Led - As a social impact founder and community leader, I approach every collaboration with empathy, care, and an unwavering commitment to justice and belonging. My work is rooted in creating spaces where all individuals feel empowered and supported, with a focus on inclusivity and equity at every stage.
