workshops and educational activities

I design and facilitate workshops and educational programs for all ages, adapting content to suit different audiences, from family-friendly activities to college students and adult learners. I bring experience teaching at institutions such as Montserrat College of Art, the ICA, Peabody Essex Museum, MFA Boston, and Danforth, where I have worked with youth from underserved communities in Brazil, led programs in Boston public and charter schools, and facilitated activities in local museums. My sessions encourage creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on engagement, and can be tailored for schools, museums, community centers, or cultural organizations.

If you’re interested in bringing a customized workshop to your school, organization, or community, I’d be happy to talk further.
