Muni means "to think," in Tagalog, my mother’s native Filipino language. Often expressed as muni-muni, it refers to an act of thoughtfully considering and gaining insight.
At Muni Muni Partners, we believe that evolving your organizational culture starts with a thoughtful, strategic approach. With over a decade of curiosity, research, and experience, I offer fresh perspectives to help your team thrive within a culture that genuinely supports them.
Unlocking Team Potential Through a Culture-Driven Approach
What I Bring
10+ Years of Experience
I bring a diverse range of experiences across higher education, corporate, and public sectors. Over the years, I’ve actively engaged with diverse communities by facilitating workshops, conducting research, and leading therapy for children with autism in academia; managing DEI programs, including externships and ERGs, and facilitating classes for adults with developmental disabilities in the corporate sector; and the opportunity to work with the Minneapolis Police Department during their community engagement sessions in 2023.
Intercultural Competence
As an Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Qualified Administrator, I am equipped to administer and debrief IDI results. Through the IDI, I help individuals, leaders, and groups advance their cultural competence and build stronger, more inclusive workplaces.

My work is always backed by evidence and focused on driving meaningful change. I’m committed to continuously expanding my expertise, staying on top of new findings and innovations to ensure my approach is both informed and forward-thinking.
