Your thought partner in

creating the conditions for people, organizations, and communities to thrive

Practical experience.
Thoughtful partnership.

The Dawn Lab is a boutique consulting firm that helps design healthy, equitable, and inclusive policies and practices that support wellbeing for individuals, organizations, and communities. 

I provide services that deepen understanding, build capacity, shape narratives, and drive action. The common thread in my career is a passion for creating the conditions for people and communities to be healthy. Analytical and action-oriented by nature, I enjoy exploring problems and co-creating innovative solutions - and then putting them into practice.

Let’s explore what we can create together.

ABOUT THE LOGO
One of my most fulfilling workplace experiences was when I was in a microbiologist in the Lim Lab at the University of South Florida. While my path didn't have me leading my own research team, The Dawn Lab is a parallel experience to foster creativity and innovation and cultivate laws, policies, and practices to support our individual and collective wellbeing. The logo is a sun, as a play on my name, and a flask, as a callback to a transformative time in my life. I hope you will join me and explore what we can create together.
