I work with schools, nonprofits, foundations, and public institutions to center youth voice, racial justice, and creative engagement in research, strategy, and design. My approach is grounded in critical pedagogy, anti-adultism, and community-based research.
Coalition & Power-Building Workshops
Design and facilitate workshops with youth and intergenerational groups to build alignment, shared goals, and organizing strategy.
Adultism Trainings
Custom trainings for educators, youth workers, and leadership teams to unpack and address adultist practices in institutions and programs.
Participatory Research with Youth
Support the full lifecycle of youth-led or youth-informed research, including design, facilitation, analysis, and dissemination.
Racial Justice in Education Systems
Partner on initiatives to rethink curriculum, redesign programs, or shift policy with a focus on power, race, and lived experience.
Staff Development & Strategic Retreats
Facilitate working sessions for teams looking to deepen their practice around youth voice, equity, and community accountability.
Arts-Based Dissemination
Translate academic or community-based research into comics, zines, visual essays, or interactive materials for broader impact.
Youth Storytelling Projects
Co-create visual and narrative projects with youth that speak to public audiences, policymakers, or community stakeholders.
Custom Communication Tools
Design accessible, visual outputs—infographics, timelines, posters, toolkits—that reflect the integrity and goals of your work.
If you’re working on something that could benefit from deep collaboration, creative strategy, or community-grounded design, get in touch.
