With nearly fifteen years in education and nonprofit leadership, Haley holds a deep commitment to those who have been most marginalized. As an innate teacher, facilitator, and leader, Haley has served in non-profit executive leadership, K-12 school administration, and faith-based spaces.
Haley began her work as a shelter case manager and educator for teens experiencing homelessness. In her work with youth whose needs have not been met in traditional academic settings, Haley’s coaching, leadership team development, and strategic planning empowered teams and led to high impact student and teacher growth. Haley has developed and implemented comprehensive professional development and training sequences differentiated for individual, small, and large groups in service of more fully realizing their mission.
As a non-profit executive director of an organization who was called to examine themselves and their work based on racial inequities, Haley partnered with BIPOC community leaders and consultants to lead a collective organizational commitment to a more inclusive and equitable future. This team was invited to share their learning and work as a program model at a national level.
Haley is involved in collaborative networks for service and justice throughout the country. Haley holds multiple educational licenses and has been trained in coaching, leadership development, and racial equity best practices nationally as well as at the state and local levels. She is also a certified DEI and Organizational Change practitioner through the National EIDA Center.
As a White woman, Haley has and continues to be invested in her own cultural intelligence to lead effectively in cross-racial and racial affinity spaces. Haley leads with joy and integrity in service of a more liberated future of belonging and inclusion.
When not leading, Haley spends her time gardening, finding peace and adventure in the mountains, and connecting in intentional communities.
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
