I am a leader, design thinker, mentor, coach, and creative for One Stone, a student-driven non-profit that is transforming the high school experience and driving learning innovation. I serve on One Stone's leadership team, where I am instrumental in planning, designing, and communicating our brand, culture, and story with students, staff, community partners, as well as national donors and leaders in innovative education. In 2016, One Stone partnered with Drake Cooper to rebrand One Stone and its four programs. Since then, we have elaborated on that brand. In 2020, I evolved the brand suite to include eight studios + labs, plus the brand development of Idea51, One Stone's Research + Design hub. I am intricately involved in the planning, storytelling, speech writing, presentation graphics, video production, and creative direction of One Stone's event planning and marketing teams, which include fundraising galas, education summits, graduation celebrations, student portfolio shows, and more. I am principally responsible for managing One Stone's publications, website, and the creation of its video, graphic, and written content. Additionally, I have spoken on the topics of personal brand building Boise Startup Week and empathy at Hands Down Voices Up.

Design Thinking Coach
In addition to my leadership and work on the One Stone brand, I also work directly with our amazing high school students in Lab51. I have coached dozens of Design Lab teams to use human-centered design to solve problems in our community or in the world. Partnering with organizations or designing directly with an end user, I help students navigate the complexity of the research, empathy, ideation, prototyping, and implementation phases.

Advisor, Mentor, & Coach
Each year, I work closely with 8-10 students guiding their academic, social/emotional, and professional growth. As their advisor, I introduce them to One Stone’s innovative and fast-paced culture, help them navigate One Stone's Living in Beta program, and set goals and write performance feedback using The BLOB, all of which I helped create. Each term, I also coach a variety of learning experiences through Two Birds, One Stone’s creative studio. ranging from branding and marketing, creative writing, 3D design, making and building, publication design, and video production. In Community Read groups, I facilitate critical reading conversations on some of my favorites texts including Creativity, Inc., Tuesdays with Morrie, Good is the New Cool: Market Like You Give a Damn, as well as The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.
