I was the course manager and facilitator for T550: Designing for Learning by Creating, a course run out of the Creative Computing Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, designed and taught by Dr. Karen Brennan. Parts of my role included producing all in-person class events on Zoom, co-constructing lesson plans for whole group of 180 students, leading a weekly section of 13 students, producing media resources, and managing social media accounts on Twitter and Instagram.

I conceived, fundraised for, developed, and facilitated a comedy camp for middle school girls through 826DC called "Got Your Back." Over the course of spring break, emerging comediennes learned the classic forms of sketch comedy, ultimately concluding in a bound blue book of their individual and collaborative sketches, with a final performance for their families.

This camp was made possible by a "Galentine's Day" fundraiser I organized at Hellbender Brewery, where some of DC's finest amateur comediennes came out to support. We sold out tickets, and raised over $2000 in one evening.

To my utter delight, I've had the opportunity to share this practice in creative confidence building with organizations in hands-on playful learning workshops for holiday parties and happy hours, including Harvard Graduate School of Education, Creative Mornings, PBS KIDS, Solaris Bank, and McMaster University.
