Girls Rock Philly
Girls Rock Philly is a youth-centered music organization dedicated to building an intergenerational community of girls, women, and trans and gender-expansive people. Through the practice of fearless expression, artistic experimentation, and collaboration, we build the confidence and leadership skills needed to transform ourselves and our communities.
As the Creative Director turned Community Organizing Director (2016-2018), I worked at the intersection of creative communications, community partnerships, and youth development.
