My mission in Social Work is to make a positive difference in young peoples lives. I want to create the space for young people channel their leadership skills, discover what they’re passionate about and affect positive change in their community. This is accomplished in my work through YouthTank by facilitating experiential learning that gives young people the opportunity to work on real world projects that blend entrepreneurship, leadership, and career readiness and the platform to present their work to the world. Through my career experience and my studies at the University of Michigan where I earned a BA in Art and Design and a Masters in Social Work, I developed a strong background in partnership-building, curriculum design, creative facilitation, research, and grant writing, all of which I draw on to help make our programming both engaging and meaningful. I believe investing in young people’s future is an investment in my future and generations beyond me. Contact me if you'd like to work together!
