A maker of things
I am an innovation consultant for companies that seek to harness their potential, while driving systems-level strategy and innovation, impact, and transformation.
Born in Zimbabwe and raised in Burundi, Kenya, and Canada, I bring a global lens to all my work. I currently live in a beautiful Ontario Valley Town called Dundas, located in the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabeg, with my husband and son.

When she’s not consulting, you can find her on some type of adventure with her son, making digital content, gardening, or fiddling with her violin. She lives in a beautiful Ontario Valley Town called Dundas, located in the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabeg, with her husband and son.
