Hello! 

Last April I ran the Brooklyn Experience 1/2 Marathon benefitting The 52nd Street Project. This winter, I'm doing it again (though a much shorter distance)

The 52nd Street Project is an incredible community organization working with the young people of Hells Kitchen. If you haven't seen a show there, get to one as soon as you can!  

The Project offers a myriad of opportunities to the young people of Hells Kitchen: Mentoring, Arts Exposure, Writing, Performance, Retreats, Academics, and so much more. At its heart, The Project offers a space where community can gather and grow.

I have been on staff as the Education & Production Assistant since last September. It is such a joy to spend afternoons with Project members gabbing, gossiping, conversing, and most importantly, doing a productive hour-hour homework (crafts, and any other ideas the young people have). Being surrounded by so much whimsy and excitement at all times, it’s hard not to become inspired to grow! Not only do I see growth in the people around me, but also in myself as an educator, technician, and problem solver.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your support!
