I’ve spent the past decade working with youth and learners who often fall outside traditional systems — in schools, nonprofits, and community programs. My career has taken me from facilitating life-skills groups in New Orleans to teaching and tutoring students in France, and from managing cases for justice-involved teens to designing accessible, trauma-informed curriculum.

​

I am driven to repair the harm that inequitable and inaccessible education causes in communities. Over time, I’ve come to understand that these gaps are not accidental — they are systemic, deeply rooted, and often function as tools of exclusion. Influenced by critical and participatory education models, including the work of Paulo Freire, and shaped by firsthand experience, I design learning experiences that center dialogue, agency, and real-world relevance.

​

I thrive on collaborating with educators and community partners to create programs that meet people where they are and give them practical tools to grow. When learning is accessible, relevant, and rooted in respect, it becomes a pathway to agency, confidence, and long-term change.

​

At the core, I see education as a chance to build confidence, resilience, and opportunity for those who need it most. I bring both hands-on experience and instructional design expertise to every program I develop, ensuring that learning is accessible, empowering, and results-driven.
