More about moi…

  • Trained and coached more than 10,000 professionals across the globe since 2015

  • Former professor at Columbia University School of Social Work

  • Inaugural recipient of Columbia University School of Social Work’s Steven P. Schinke Teaching Innovation Award

  • Caring Across Generations 2024 Care Fellow

Weaving my extensive experiences across social work, mental health practice, training, nonprofit management, adult education, and holistic healing, I help professionals develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to create meaningful change.

I have designed and delivered in-person and online professional development experiences, continuing education events, and corporate wellness seminars for organizations and professionals across the U.S., Canada, China, Tanzania, and Puerto Rico.

At JenTex I have gathered a solid team of consultants and trainers who, first, believe in my vision for workplaces where professionals can thrive and, second, are dynamic learning and development professionals who inspire me and our clients to be our very best.

As your friendly neighborhood Black Queer Lesbian, I am unapologetic about ensuring our programming prioritizes the needs and ways of knowing of those whose identities are too often marginalized. No one will ever force me to not name equity and inclusivity as one of my core priorities. Never.

When not working, I enjoy spending time near the ocean; knitting; crocheting; traveling; reading/listening to audiobooks; watching true crime shows and RuPaul’s Drag Race with my partner and my Yorkies (yes, they watch TV with me); and laughing with people I love.
