Hi, I’m Carley.
I help schools turn their vision around equity and PD into practice. As a coach, I help educators navigate their careers with authenticity and intention.
What I Offer
Why do we keep investing in equity work and professional development that doesn’t actually change how the school functions or how students learn?
I help schools and educators move from "We value this" to "here's how it shows up in our practice." After years of doing this work from inside schools — leading DEIJB efforts, coaching and observing faculty, mentoring and onboarding leaders, and navigating conflict and harm — I’m supporting organizations in a new way.
I offer Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Consulting, Faculty Professional Development Consulting, and 1:1 Coaching, detailed further below.
Consulting
I partner with faculty and administrators who want to build inclusive communities and systems, and design PD that is immediately applicable for faculty, impactful for student learning, and sustainable.
My work is for institutions who want more than one-off and out-of-touch PDs, or surface-level belonging statements, and are ready for deeper, ongoing follow-through.
Knowing the overwhelm and time limitations inherent in many school roles, I aim to be a resource and strategic partner for navigating a problem and implementing lasting change.
I believe deeply in this work and its criticality for student success, and it’s only effective when it is sustainable, accountable, and human-centered.
Coaching
I aim to be a listening ear and thought partner for those on their own journeys in or around schools — for folks of color navigating independent schools where they are often one of a few or the only, those transitioning into a new leadership role, staff members who want to move to the student-facing side, parents struggling to balance their careers with parenting, and more. I am grateful for the leadership coaches I've had in my career, and coaching is my way to pay it forward.
What Clients are Saying
"Carley knows how to bring out the best in people. It made all the difference to partner with someone who struck the delicate balance of holding me accountable and giving me the support to thrive on my own. She gave me clear direction and consistent feedback that elevated my work. "

I can and have coached professionals with various backgrounds. While my consulting experience is primarily in K–12 independent schools, I welcome partnerships beyond K-12 and education settings. My work focuses on supporting organizations in aligning their equity and inclusion and professional development intentions with their actions, which is relevant far beyond schools.
