WHAT I DO AT CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE
  • Work with an amazing team to support and build the capacity of adults in a variety of communities and settings so they are best equipped to effectively create the antiracist and equitable environments necessary for whole child healthy development
  • Oversee the Whole Child Connection training approach; researching, developing, customizing, reviewing, facilitating, and evaluating trainings and content
  • Provide consultation and coaching services to schools, districts, and programs for the successful implementation of social and emotional learning using a whole child approach
  • Co-lead the development of our youth council to learn with and from youth, elevate youth voice, and provide youth leadership opportunities
  • Increase awareness about antiracism and equity and work to end institutional racism within our workspace
  • Acknowledge my own bias and blind spots in creating content and resources; continue to listen, unlearn and learn; be more intentional in creating equitable and antiracist content and resources

PASSIONATE ABOUT

FUN FACTS
  • I studied abroad in Wales and made the news about two weeks after I arrived when the group I was with became stranded and had to be rescued from Worm’s Head, when the tide came in
  • I solo hiked to the top of Twin Sisters Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, summer 2019
