I co-Founded the Lady Lead program with Louisa Castrodale, former Art Director for Palm Springs Unified School District.

​

Lady Lead is an art program for "at-risk" female students in the Palm Springs Unified School District which uses art and crafts to build self-esteem and community. It employs art therapy as a tool to help the students cope and excel in school and social settings.

 

It visited every Middle School in the Palm Springs Unified District once a month, spending one hour with a group of 25 students from 6th to 8th grade. Lady Lead was a 4-year-long art program.

​

As the Co-Founder and Leader of the program, I was responsible for:

• Conceptualizing the projects, all with intention to be emotionally, spiritually, artistically uplifting

• Managing the budget for the school year's art supply

• Managing the schedule

• Hiring and coordinating the team

• Overseeing the social media for the program
