Highlights

Experience: 9 Years of Brand Strategy and Storytelling

Launched: Music and Poetry Curriculum for 10-12 Graders

Creates: Weekly poetry and songs

I’m passionate about our work because:
I believe in the power of student agency, purpose-based learning and getting students involved in their community. I love having the opportunity to work alongside inspiring organizations and projects that share this mission.

My favorite learning experience is:
Keeping unread books on my bookshelf and identifying the first breadcrumbs of a learning rabbit hole. I love the prospect of having more to learn and get excited about a thread of stories or information. It is both a humbling and immensely motivating experience.

My role in three words:
Strategic, purposeful storytelling.

I’m currently learning about:
How to better elevate and amplify new, original voices. I’m also learning tons about cooking, farming and exploring the Pacific Northwest.

I’m currently working on:
Integrating machine learning and more data practices into our work, streamlining mission and messaging and identifying growth opportunities both personally and professionally. I’m also working on original poems and music.
