As of May 2024, I'm thrilled to join reDirect as their new Communications & Marketing Associate!reDirect is part think tank, part consultancy, part foundation. We collaborate with nonprofits to help them explore how they can better support the people they work with and serve. Our work, rooted in research in environmental psychology, demonstrates that people are at their best when their environments support their need to understand and explore; to feel capable; and to meaningfully participate. It’s from this research that reDirect’s framework was created: we call it Supportive Environments for Effectiveness, or SEE. Our goal is to share this framework with organizations so that we can bring out the best in the people powering our communities.
