Erin-Kate Escobar (Erin-Kate Escobar Consulting) has a Vision where People are able to navigate and challenge oppression as whole humans. They work to accomplish that through their Mission: To build more inclusive workplaces where people can thrive through developing and implementing DEI strategies that include healing, and anti-racist practices. Erin-Kate has previously developed DEI initiatives in STEM communities, including Caltech, NASA, and Nobel Prize-winning LIGO scientific collaborations. These days, you can more often find them partnering with small businesses, museums, schools, and nonprofits to create more diverse and equitable team environments.
