About Anja

Including communities in decision-making is vital to a sustainable future--I'll help you get there with tailored community engagement. I specialize in cross-cultural, creative approaches that include hands-on workshops, community pop-ups, team-building, interviewing, focus groups, and more. My facilitation creates space for diverse voices and turns input into clear, actionable decisions. I am an expert facilitator and have worked with professional organizations, Indigenous groups, youth, seniors, and more, all with a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens. Clients value me for designing processes that build trust, foster collaboration, and unlock new possibilities.

I am open to work across Europe and Canada.
