BAY AREA FELLOW, FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCE
Since August 2023, I have been interning with Futures Without Violence as an outreach fellow and a research collaborator.
My responsibilities involve:
Collaborate and develop a national dialogue regarding Teen Economic Abuse (TEA). Was selected to work within a cohort of 11 other youth.
Build awareness through social media posts, infographics, podcasts, etc, geared toward fellow youth, parents, or school administrators to try and prevent this type of abuse.
Organized the first ever conference to discuss TEA with educators from numerous school districts across the nation.
Collaborating with Dr. Elizabeth Miller of the University of Pittsburgh through partnership with UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburg and The Allstate Foundation to study the presence of TEA in marginalized communities.
Currently collecting qualitative data and conducting focus groups for African American, gender-diverse, and system-involved youth.
