The world needs curious, compassionate, critical thinkers!
The programs offered introduce a cohort of rising doers to a creative research philosophy intended to instill confidence and spark curiosity. The curricula infuse core storytelling/research skills into a structured mentorship through the completion of a project.
I designed these programs with my younger self in mind, the girl who was always jotting things down and turning over rocks to see what slithered below. The Young Authors Program is great for little people with big imaginations, while the Young Researchers Program is perfect for the child who is always asking “why.”
My creative storytelling and research approach draws from my experience as a Fulbright researcher, international journalist, Ivy League scholar, and private SAT tutor. I offer a stress-free learning environment that challenges students to meet their potential.
