Co-creating change
Hi, I’m Nadi (she/her/they/them)!
I’m a single mama to two magical young adults, my son is transgender with ADHD, and my daughter is autistic. I'’m also dyslexic and ADHD myself, which gives me a front-row seat to both the internal and external realities of the neurodiverse experience.
For all my adult life, I’ve chosen the mountains as home—settling in a few rugged communities before eventually landing on the west coast of Canada. There’s something about hiking trails where a bear could genuinely be around the next corner that makes the everyday feel… delightfully unpredictable.
My “why” in this work comes from hard-won experience. As a young leader, I bought into the "business-first, people-second" myth. I lacked inclusive habits, and as a result, I caused harm. Owning that truth shaped my path.
After two decades in business operations management, I shifted my focus to diversity, equity, and inclusion, approaching these issues through an intersectional, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive lens.
Today, my commitment is to co-creating workplaces where belonging isn’t just a buzzword, but a lived reality. Through my consulting practice, Inclusion with Nadi, I support business leaders in creating cultures of true inclusion.
I bring a blend of strategy, people-first practices, and data-driven insight to every project. My expertise spans the full employee experience and organizational lifecycle:

fun fact # 1
I'm a single mama.
Some might think this is not a "fun" fact but lemme tell ya, it takes a certain kind of MAGIC to raise 1 transgender son and 1 autistic daughter into self-loving, genuine and confident beings - choosing to keep it light and have FUN is a HUGE part of my parental success story.
FUN FACT # 2
I've been an activist most of my life.
25 years ago I stood at the front-lines of protests I'd helped organize to defend Indigenous lands. The fight for human rights hits me right in the feels and I will never stop working for justice.
I'm SUPER creative and have never met an art project that I couldn't spin into my own version of delight. I used to own a kids art studio too! Current projects are mostly crochet or knit tapestries, clothing and cute amigurumi - crochet figures.
My dog breed of choice is Rottweiler.
Strong breed dogs match my personality with that 'take no shit but do no harm' attitude. Rotties are softies but will protect their people as needed. Those who know them LOVE them, those who don't are scared of them.
