About me
Hello! My name is Erika (she/her), and I'm an experienced intercultural educator, consultant, facilitator, and coach who partners with institutions and individuals to teach, engage, and transform.
My lifelong, in-depth cross-cultural experience in multiple arenas fuels my passion for the ongoing work of equity and inclusion, and empowering people to do their work of coming to new growth and understandings.
I partner with diverse groups and people on themes such as culturally responsive communication & leadership, inclusive pedagogy, racially conscious parenting, racial/multi-racial identity, implicit bias awareness, racial justice, and embodied mindfulness as liberatory practice. I'm also a licensed QA (Qualified Administrator) for the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) assessment for building cross-cultural competencies.
I've lived and taught in a wide variety of international settings, with a diverse array of learners, situations, formats, levels, and classrooms. Although I'm currently based in Los Angeles, I also enjoy working virtually with clients in an array of locations and countries. I approach teaching and learning as an interactive and dynamic process of collaboration.
