Every child deserves a voice.
CROW with us at Communities for the Restoration of Wellbeing.
Honor dignity. Choose joy. Find belonging.
At Edventures LLC, we facilitate gathering spaces where caregivers and families find resonance. Through the CROW project—Communities for the Restoration of Wellbeing—we empower caregivers to partner authentically with public schools, ensuring that the narratives of our families lead the way in educational policy and practice.
Collective restoration is built one squawk at a time. We choose possibility over deficit, centering dignity and joy to foster a future where every child truly belongs. Together, we are bridging the gap between institutional systems and lived experience, building a world where every caregiver is heard and every story is valued.
Dignity
We see you fully. Your story,
your identity, your truth.
Joy
We choose possibility over deficit. Always.
Belonging
You are not alone in this.
We gather here.
Hello!

Her dissertation, Countering Exclusion: Stories of Intersectionally Marginalized Youth, uses qualitative narrative inquiry to analyze how race, gender, disability, and place shape disciplinary encounters and belonging.

She leads districtwide MTSS systems development, restorative practice implementation, and behavioral intervention design.
