FAMILY PROGRAMMING

I design and lead hands-on, family-centered maker programming for children ages 3 through middle school. My work includes developing original curriculum, fabricating teaching tools and prototypes, training educators, and managing large-scale weekend programming in interactive learning environments.

I have designed experiences such as screen printing, 3D printer exploration, paper making, pH Painting, large-scale collaborative “mega tinker” builds, and wind turbine engineering with multimeter testing. My approach blends creative exploration with real-world STEM applications to ensure programs are engaging, developmentally responsive, and accessible for diverse learners.

WORKSHOPS

I design and oversee interactive school and family workshops that invite caregivers and children to learn side by side through hands-on making and problem solving. I develop curriculum and materials, train and coach facilitation staff, and support implementation to ensure workshops are engaging, developmentally appropriate, and accessible for mixed-age audiences.

In addition to program design, I contribute to evaluation and marketing efforts, using participant feedback and program data to refine experiences and communicate impact. My work helps create welcoming environments where families can experiment, collaborate, and build confidence together.

COMMUNINITY AND PARTNER PROGAMMING

I lead the design and implementation of community-centered and culturally responsive programming that connects making, storytelling, and social impact. This includes developing in-house experiences and managing external partnerships for annual observances such as Black History Month, Women’s History Month, AAPI Heritage Month, Pride, Hispanic Heritage Month, and Indigenous Peoples’ Month, as well as special programming for MLK Day and Earth Day.

In addition to program design, I serve as a consultant to partner organizations, supporting them in developing hands-on activities from concept through execution. My work includes co-designing experiences, sourcing and ordering materials, coordinating logistics, overseeing setup and breakdown, and managing run-of-show to ensure seamless, high-quality events. I also train staff, contribute to evaluation and marketing efforts, and steward partnerships that amplify diverse voices.
