​I design and facilitate professional learning for adults who work with young people, grounded in my Mindful Media approach to media education, digital well-being, and youth development.

 

This work supports educators, child welfare professionals, youth workers, and community leaders in building shared understanding and practical strategies for navigating digital life with young people.​

What Professional Learning Looks Like:

My Approach to Professional Learning

Professional learning is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in the realities of participants’ day-to-day work. I facilitate spaces that are culturally responsive and trauma-informed, prioritizing dialogue, shared problem-solving, and practical application over one-directional instruction.

​

Sessions are designed to offer tools and frameworks participants can use immediately, while honoring the expertise and lived experience they already bring. Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions, the focus is on adaptation, growth, and sustainability within each organization’s specific context.

​

  • ​Sessions are interactive, discussion-based, and designed to help participants connect learning to their day-to-day work with young people.

  • Content is always adapted to the audience, whether working with educators, system-facing youth, nonprofit staff, libraries, or faith-based organizations.

  • I bring experience working across diverse settings and with professionals supporting youth who are often underserved or navigating complex systems, including LGBTQ+ youth, youth living with mental illness, undocumented youth, and youth experiencing homelessness or foster care.
