My background spans youth development, program design, instructional and curriculum design, and community engagement work in San Francisco.
Within schools, youth programs, college access, and community-based organizations, I have designed and facilitated programming, workshops, and classes for first-generation high school students, supported educator learning experiences, and partnered with community organizations to strengthen how education connects to everyday life beyond the classroom.
My work focuses on designing learning experiences that reflect the lived realities of students and connect directly to the communities they are part of. A core belief that guides my work is that learning is most meaningful when it is connected to identity, voice, and the realities students navigate in their everyday lives.
I create learning experiences that support leadership development, critical thinking, communication, and social-emotional growth while also creating space for students to share their stories and advocate for their communities, strengthening their sense of social responsibility as leaders within them.
Over time, my work has evolved from facilitating and supporting programs to designing and shaping learning experiences, translating feedback from students, educators, and communities into more intentional structures.
I focus on the intersection of program and learning experience design, instructional design, community engagement, and social impact, with an emphasis on expanding access and opportunity in education.
