Moved from Minneapolis in 2018 and have since felt at home in the rapidly growing beloved community. Plugging into the local D.I.Y. and skateboarding culture has inspired a deeper relationship the structures of the city and its people.
This exploration led me to work with local organizers at public institutions like the the Atlanta City Studioand the Museum of Design Atlanta on a series of online classes around Design Justice. During the coronavirus pandemic, I also had the ability to connect to global grass roots organizations like the Goodpush Alliance and Skatistan to collaborate and contribute among other social skateboarding programs.
After working with the S.T.E.(A.)M. Truck, a mobile makerspace, ATL Parks and Recreation, I cofounded the the Village Skatepark ATL, a community center and skatepark, where I ran the programs until 2025. I also assisted Scraplanta by hosting classes and creating a programming calendar as they grew into a second space.

Currently, I work with the Atlanta Regional Commission on the Community Engagement and Culture team under the community development depart,emt.
