Education Associate

At Triangle Associates I engage the public on behalf of clients, including Seattle City Light, Seattle Public Utilities, King County Public Health, and the Gates Foundation Discovery Center. In a given week I might be in the classroom, facilitating conversations in a museum, training staff, managing budgets, developing workshops, or coordinating between clients and their partners. I manage over a total budget of over $580,000 across three outreach programs. I integrate DEI into our project work and hold myself accountable to continue to learn in order to better serve our communities. I make space for student curiousity and seek to cultivate authentic hope in the face of the ecoanxiety many students hold. Students need to know that the future is not their responsibility alone, that adults are listening to them, and that they are part of a broader system of change that has to happen for us to reach sustainability.

When King County Public Health connected with the International Rescue Community New Roots program, I engaged with community members in a community garden. We built skills on how to know if a household product can harm you or a member of your family.
