I’m an educator and artist whose medium is school.
I taught for a decade in New York City public schools, and now organize learning experiences for adults to bring radical worldviews into practice. I consult widely, collaborating with educators to organize transformative field trips for adults and advancing curriculum that builds youth power through civic engagement and creative practice.
Previously, I was the program director at Girls Garage and a partner at Transcend, where I supported educators across the country with reimagining the future of school. I’ve studied at Parsons (MFA in Design and Technology), Pace University (MA Teaching), and UCLA (BA History and Urban Studies).
I am currently living in Baltimore, leading MICA’s MA Social Design program during the 2024-25 school year. I am typically based in Sacramento, where I am proud to live on the same street where I grew up.
In addition to teaching, I am a writer, printmaker, parent, neighbor and activist. I am the president of the board of S.O.U.R.C.E. Studio. My current interests are in wealth redistribution and solidarity economies.
