In addition to her unique ability to guide people through instability and uncertainty, Dargis is an accomplished writer and poet. At Hermes House Press, she was a copyeditor for full-length manuscripts. As a structural editor, she has tutored graduate students at the California Institute for Human Science since 2016. In addition, she regularly provides in-house support to edit funding proposals, rapid assessments, and mapping documents in her role as a management consultant, and she had also served as the lead writer during the UNICEF Country Office five-year strategic planning process in Ethiopia, drafting official documents for regional and national workshops and crafting political and security reports as required by the regional office.

Skillfully and intuitively navigating organizations and individuals through external and internal conflicts, her expertise includes designing, implementing and evaluating community-based education, training, and capacity-building programs, particularly in regions affected by war and natural disasters.
