Bio
Facilitator, youth worker, and community organizer currently serving as a Program Manager at the Center for Youth and Community Leadership in Education (CYCLE). At CYCLE, I coordinate OurSchoolsPVD, an alliance of 8 youth, parent, and community organizations fighting for educational justice in Providence, RI.
Since 2018, I have co-created organizing, storytelling, and policy change initiatives with hundreds of high school students across the country. Originally from Charleston, SC, my love for and learnings from Southern community organizing ground my work with young people. I hold a B.A. in Justice and Peace Studies from Georgetown University and began the Women's Fund of RI Women's Policy Institute in 2025.
