Project One
The impact was bridging the gap with 500 families strong developing home libraries to combat illiteracy I conducted a book drive delivering 1700 books to The Center of Literacy and Learning Family Engagement Program.
Project Two
I developed an essay contest along with being a writing coach for international and underserved youth in the community. I reached out to Gardere Youth Initiative and Big Buddy Program and assessed their needs for a project to inspire students to write and voice their opinions in a safe space.
I continue to participate as a Teen Writing Coach and mentor.

Project Three
I approached the Development Director at Knock Knock Museum seeking an internship/collaboration during the Covid-19 shutdown. I assessed the needs that despite the closure of the museum, they were still servicing the needs of children in the area. They recently collaborated with Conscious Kid Project and I assisted making over 800 workbooks for families within the community to help combat the decline in reading levels of young students impacted by the shutdown.
