ABOUT THE EXPERT:

I’m a community organizer, educator, and Ph.D. focused on working alongside youth activists to better understand how relationships of solidarity are built across generational lines. Particularly, in both my research and praxis, I’m interested in how adult accomplices can challenge age-based power dynamics in intergenerational spaces and utilize this knowledge to help organizations implement youth-centered practices institutionally.

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 2013 and received my Ed.M. from Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2017. I also have experience as a middle school science teacher, graduate-level instructor, curriculum designer, and educational technology designer.
