We believe relationships are the invisible bridge that connects people of all backgrounds.
We embrace innovation, bringing the best ideas and solutions to the table.
We stand behind our commitment to providing the best solutions to our clients.
Our founder, Ivan is inspired by his grandmother “Toto” who enshrined in him the belief that anything is possible. And change is the vehicle to new possibilities.
At Ocan Consultants, we guide our clients to explore the potential and possibilities that come with embracing change, for individuals, organizations and future generations.
In 2023, we collaborated with Black-led organizations in New Brunswick to provide information sessions to Black youth around financial literacy, university education, and career planning sessions.
We understand the value of giving back to our communities. We are committed to empowering the next generation of leaders by engaging with partner organizations focusing on underrepresented youth groups.
Hi! I’m Ivan, a dedicated anti-discrimination advocate and educator with a focus on Intercultural competence, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Antiracism (EDIB/A).
Over the past 7 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with the New Brunswick Multicultural Council (NBMC), Mount Allison University, and Dalhousie University, which has shaped my journey in this field. I’m passionate about building bridges across diverse communities, eliminating barriers to inclusion, and ensuring organizations are designed to help everyone reach their full potential.
I hold an MA in International Development Studies and a BA in Gender Studies, which gives me a strong foundation in research and training services. My expertise in intercultural understanding and social justice drives my mission to help create more equitable and inclusive societies.
