Brank Consulting
Changing the Transgender Inclusion Story

About

Passion. Experience. Purpose.

History

A storyteller, speaker, and advocate for the transgender community; I provide transgender education, consultation, and lead gender transition teams in the workplace. I partner with my transgender daughter who is promoting change as a social media influencer and YouTube content creator.

I draw from my unique experience which combines raising a transgender daughter with a natural passion for belonging and equality. My background in Diversity and Inclusion, Human Resources, Learning, and Leading all lend themselves to driving the change that is needed in our workplaces.
