In partnership with children, biological families and foster families, I created service plans which addressed the safety, behavioral, educational, psychological and permanency needs in the Special Medical Unit. This unit supported a diverse set of medically fragile children around New York City. The monitoring of the safety, well-being and progress against other critical outcomes held high importance. This was accomplished by facilitating regular casework contacts. These include monthly foster home visits, bi-monthly contact with biological parents, and supervision of family visitations. I meticulously documented these required scheduled contacts and collected date for the state and agency to ensure all outcomes are met. The highlight of my work was supporting clients, foster parents, and children emotionally and socially through the transition and strive towards the goal of reunification.

The GrowNYC Compost Program, in partnership with the New York Department of Sanitation, seeks to educate the public about food scrap recycling. To encourage composting, we collect food scraps from residents at 61 Food Scrap Drop-off Sites in all 5 boroughs, and work with community organizations to create compost for parks, gardens, street trees and other greening projects in NYC. Our Food Scrap Drop-off Sites are located at GrowNYC Greenmarkets, Youthmarkets, and Fresh Food Box sites, as well as On-The-Go Sites for commuters in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. My employment ceased due to decreased funding during the pandemic.

The Posse Foundation
https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-posse-foundation
The Posse model works for both students and college campuses and is rooted in the belief that a small, diverse group of talented students—a Posse—carefully selected and trained, can serve as a catalyst for increased individual and community development. As the United States becomes an increasingly multicultural society, Posse believes that the leaders of this new century should reflect the country’s rich demographic mix and that the key to a promising future for our nation rests on the ability of strong leaders from diverse backgrounds to develop consensus solutions to complex social problems. One of the primary aims of the Posse program is to train these leaders of tomorrow.

Study Abroad
This program focuses on South Africa’s ethnic diversity. In a typical semester, students complete four homestays — each providing the opportunity to meet and interact with South Africans from different geographic and ethnic backgrounds. The strong emphasis on the homestay as experiential learning complements lectures, discussions, field-based assignments, and excursions to provide a multidisciplinary analysis of the country.

The historical background to South Africa's apartheid system, how apartheid shaped and continues to impact social policy in South Africa, and the visions for post-apartheid South Africa
Social change in education, language use, land, social justice organizations, party politics, rural development, social welfare NGOs, and tourism in three cultural contexts: Xhosa, Coloured/Khoe, and Afrikaner
Critical identity markers beyond race — such as gender, sexuality, class, or generational or political affiliation — which cut across cultural contexts in post-apartheid SA.

This study focuses on how gender roles and the Black identity affect Black women in present day social movements in Cape Town, South Africa. The goal of this project is to analyze how Black female students identify with the present day Black Consciousness Movement and their views on what roles women should engage in during social justice movements. Young Black women have forcefully been present in the current social movements such as Rhodes Must Fall and Fees Must Fall. These movements not only aim to tackle colonization, but also enforcing the inclusion of feminism and LGBTQ principles within the goals of the movements. The recent movement, Patriarchy Must Fall, puts an emphasize on ending gender inequality and Black women at the university have been engaging with the movements on the vision of an intersectional movement. Should the focus solely be on decolonization and then the violence towards gender and sexuality shall be left to question? Five Black female students express that this is not an option through personal narratives and through the utilization of their education at UCT. This study was conducted through methods of acquired conversations through snowballing at the University of Cape Town located in Rondebosch. These conversations are analyzed through the history of women’s involvement in social justice movements globally, the response to gender roles in African culture, and the effects of the marginalization of race. The aim of this research paper is to better understand why it is necessary for Black women to demolish gender oppression along with white supremacy, while still finding support in the Black community and with each other.
