Intern, Dorothy Cotton Institute Fall, 2011

DCI provides trainings to implement human rights framework into public school curriculum. I interviewed attendees to receive and analyse feedback and help build a framework for DCI’s next steps.

Build and facilitate trainings for a coalition of New York State youth committed to building a just and sustainable future. Bottom lined action logistics for the PowershiftNY, a 300+ student march on Albany, and Don’t Frack NY, a 3,000 person march and theatric performance - both demanding Governor Cuomo ban fracking in New York.

Actions Coordinator and State Focal Point, Green Umbrella 2012 - present

During my time at Ithaca College, I've explored the intersectionality of environmental studies, sociology, politics and history. My concentration in social movements has allowed me to address how people have made change historically, and how we can learn from our past to create a just and sustainable future.
