About Simone
[Pronouns: she/ her/ hers ]

Simone is a Project Director at CompassPoint. She supports the CompassPoint team, as well as our program participants, by making our learning spaces inviting, accessible, and safe. She also tends to key human resource functions across our organization. 

As a Black Queer Mama and Fairy, Simone embraces living life with unapologetic joy. She believes in tending to one’s personal superpowers, reclaiming QTPOC and BIPOC time, and trusting intuition. She believes that emotional intelligence, self-care, and empathy-based practices are tools for innovative and sustainable transformation.

Simone is passionate about decolonizing systems while replacing them with liberatory practices. She is an avid reader of speculative fiction, going for long runs, and geeking out about patterns found within nature, and the ways they reflect organizational structures.
