Ronda Dorsey
Veterans Nonprofit Founder | Neuro-Holistic Coach | Department of the Army Mentor | Kansas Supreme Court Dispute Resolution Provider | Certified Leadership Facilitator | OpenEdTech + AI Consultant
Hello! I’m a lifelong, iterative learner inspired by change, energized by people, and committed to service. Today my professional focus spans founding and leading a veteran- and community-centered nonprofit, facilitating leadership development, advancing food justice initiatives, and providing dispute resolution as a court-approved mediator.
My work and research center on leveraging the power of community, nature, and neuroscience for holistic health and resilience, especially for veterans and families impacted by PTSD. Whether guiding organizations, coaching leaders, or building community initiatives, I bring a passion for creating environments where people can thrive.
The mantra that guides me:
“I am 100% accountable for every thought, word, and action.”
