Based in Asheville, NC and currently seeking opportunities in project management, program coordination, and creative outreach.
As a creative community organizer, I use art and visual strategy to develop the resiliency and collective power of our community. Art brings us together, turns fear into joy, and makes our demands visible.

LGBTQ+ Youth Programming and Outreach
As a social work intern at Youth OUTright, I connected LGBTQ+ youth to resources and programs through vibrant social media posts and visits to school-based Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) clubs. I also facilitated affirming art meet-ups with zine making, collage, and expressive drawing. I co-organized Queer Goth Prom, which included a community art build to create the spooky decor.
As a design-thinking communicator, I use photography, video-making, and presentations to educate, fundraise, and mobilize action.
