Past projects
Early Childhood Educator
Blake School, Wayzata, MN
I used Kathryn Otoshi’s picture book, One, as the cornerstone of discussions and explorations into equity, justice, empathy, compassion, and empowerment in a classroom of four and five-year-olds, returning again and again to the questions, “Does everyone count?”.
PreSchool Teacher
Just Little People PreSchool, Portland, OR
I demonstrated to children as young as three that they are writers and creators of stories by utilizing a beloved story, Stop That Pickle, and a study of familiar fairytale variations to prompt children to invent their own sequels.
Consultant/Assistant
Opal School, Portland, OR
A new school with limited funding and revolutionary ideas requires everyone to wear a lot of different hats and be able to pivot at a moment's notice. I wore a lot of those hats, sometimes many simultaneously.
