Workshops & Offsites

Leadership development, team culture, and navigating change

I design and facilitate interactive workshops, leadership-development programs, and team sessions grounded in participants’ real workplace challenges. My approach combines practical frameworks with reflection, discussion, experimentation, and application.

Girls Who Code Today Become Women in Power Tomorrow

For the Girls Who Code summer immersion program, I organized a day-in-the life field trip for 20 Los Angeles area high school girls at the Boston Consulting Group Digital Ventures (BCGDV) headquarters to learn about various career paths in the digital innovation space.

Throughout the day, participants took a tour of the office, saw presentations on what each cohort does, had an informal Q&A with women in leadership, and participated in a design thinking workshop to help ideate products that help girls figure out “what they want to be when they grow up.”
