MORE ABOUT ME
Hi. I’m Loris, and I'm glad you’re here.
I’m a mother, sister, auntie, minister, educator, and friend. In all of these roles, I have received wisdom, love, confidence, and joy. I’ve also been asked, many times over, for my opinion; what I’ve learned is that we really don’t want opinions and answers, but rather presence, listening, and affirmation without judgment. This is what I offer to you - a space to share, seek and soar as high as you’re willing to fly. The coaching relationship is honest, open, and led by the client.
I have spent the last decade aiding schools to develop and sharpen skills and content centered on the best practices for helping students and families of diverse backgrounds succeed. Having presented on the local, national and international levels, I welcome opportunities to facilitate groups intent on embracing diversity while creating and sustaining a deep-seated commitment to community.
I am a key-note speaker and workshop facilitator in the following areas:
-
faculty, staff, administration, and board diversity, equity and inclusion training
-
scope and sequence curriculum development with a focus on multi/intercultural competency
-
conflict resolution through coaching
-
inter/multi-faith community building and worship
-
using data to drive measurable DEI success
-
DEI advisory programming
-
leadership development and coaching for BIPOC/BAME faculty, staff, and administration
-
DEI goal setting
I've worked as the Director of Equity and Community Life at The Hewitt School in New York City, Director of Community and Equity Affairs at St. Mark's School in Massachusetts, and served Trinity Episcopal School in North Carolina as the Lower School Dean of Community Life and Chaplain. I have presented at numerous conferences, including the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE), the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools (NCAIS), and the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) People of Color Conference.
As a coach, I am a conduit, cheerleader, and confidant for my clients. I’d love the opportunity to partner with you and/or your organization to support your personal and professional growth needs.
