    Reach the World’s mission is to help elementary and secondary school students and teachers to develop the knowledge, attitudes, values and thinking skills needed for responsible citizenship in a complex, culturally diverse and rapidly changing world. Through its interactive website, RTW enriches the curriculum by connecting classrooms to volunteer travelers who are exploring the globe.

    As a Volunteer Editor, I am responsible for coaching travelers as they share their journey. I help provide mentorship to travelers on writing and professional skills. I proof-read and fact-check their articles and provide constructive feedback and advice.

  • Doughnuts & Doodles

    Doughnuts & Doodles (aka Doughdoo) is a meetup that started in Chicago with three creatives who wanted to improve their illustration and rapid visualization skills in a fun, social way. The once offline meetup was brought to Meetup.com so that others could join to socialize with other creative minds and improve their drawing skills. I lead the Seattle chapter that engages an open forum for practicing sketching and constructive critique. The group gets together every few weeks for breakfast…

    Through the AIGA Chicago mentor program, I collaborated with a group of Chicago-based creatives to create the "Design Is..." newsprint. Our goal: to engage and educate high school students in Chicago about the power, potential and possibilities of design. We designed a newsprint piece that illustrated and visualized eleven words that we felt best communicated and exemplified the meaning of design. This newsprint was then distributed and presented to urban Chicago-area high school students.
