This allows equity to be embedded at the core of business operations.
Whether you are a large corporation, a startup, or a small business owner, we have a solution that meets your needs.
Our Core Values
Hi there, I’m Dr. Samantha Rae!
But folks call me Dr. Sam. I'm a DEI Strategist and Systems Analyst with over a decade of experience and the proud CEO of DSRD Consulting. I'm also the founder of DEI Offload™, an app I created to bolster mental health and foster community within the DEI industry.
Over the past decade, I've brought transformative DEI solutions to organizations like Goodwill, Save the Children, and NIH, positively impacting over 10,000 employees. I've also collaborated with leaders from more than 50 universities nationwide to infuse DEI into their key processes.
Leveraging my Bachelor's in Biology, my Master's in Public Health, and my Doctorate in Leadership & Organizational Management, I've worked to bridge the gap between DEI and business systems optimization. In 2022 alone, I partnered with change-makers from over 30 esteemed companies, including AWS, Meta, and Lyft, to enhance their workplace culture. Moreover, I've supported over 400 DEI practitioners around the globe. You can read more in our annual report here.
