I’m a facilitator, community steward, and excitable person who loves building things with other people.
These days, I’m supporting the Bradley Street Bicycle Co-op community, writing the newsletter GROUP HUG, and designing experiences and program strategy inside the Play Lab at IDEO.
Before this, I connected people at an internationally beloved participatory museum, a voter registration org that activates diehard fans at festivals and concerts, and through experiences I’ve designed myself – like an amateur dance class or secret midnight concerts.
WHAT’S COOKING
Here’s a few things I’m working on right now – check out the full list of my past work here.
Civic Works Department
Not an official city department (yet) but an effort to boost local relationship-building in New Haven. We most recently launched the Know Your Neighbors Fund, a microgrant for local block parties and clubs.

When I moved to town, BSBC reminded me of the power of gathering places, volunteer-led schemes, and skillsharing. I support the Co-op’s strategy, fundraising, and volunteer development and enjoy trolling the shop playlist with Mambo No. 5.
