I’m a PhD student, writer, and curriculum designer interested in how families and communities can work toward social justice together. As a doctoral candidate at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), I study sociopolitical development and socialization within adult-child relationships and design social justice-focused activities for families. With Hania Mariën, I’m the co-creator of Imagining More Just Futures, a social justice educational initiative. I’m a Truman Scholar, and I received my BA in music and psychology from Williams College and my EdM in Human Development and Psychology from HGSE. During my time at Harvard, I have served as the Family Program Manager with the Harvard University Graduate Commons Program (2019-2023) and as an editor for the Harvard Educational Review (2020-2022). I’m a frequent reader and writer of poems, stories, and non-fiction for kids and grown-ups.
