Since 1998, TC has worked with leaders in healthcare, education, government, and not-for-profits as an ICF-certified executive leadership coach and trainer. Her unique lens as an autistic leader enriches her coaching practice with lived experience and evidence-based best practice.

TC consults on policies and practices that affect minoritized, disabled, and LGBTQ+ communities, working with universities, all levels of government, and organizations to improve equity, diversity, and inclusivity within their culture.

TC offers bespoke in-person and virtual workshops and online asynchronous micro-trainings on autism, neurodivergence, and Universal Design. Grounded in evidence-based practices and focused on outcomes, each session is tailored to the specific needs of the client.

She co-led an international cross-institutional research study on autism and Universal Design training for faculty under the leadership of Dr. Kristen Gillespie-Lynch.
