As a mental health activist, I witnessed the mental health crisis permeating Gen Z and the increasing challenges younger generations face due to social media and insufficient mental health infrastructure. In response, I created a non-digital product: a subscription box that engaged children in mental health education in a fun and de-stigmatized way through books, crafts, and other hands-on projects. After pitching the product concept to the executive director at the mental health nonprofit where I was interning, we submitted an application for a local community engagement grant. We were awarded a small sum of money which we used to order boxes and source/print the items each box would contain. I hand-illustrated 50 boxes, designed original box items (e.g., parent-child conversation guide), and consulted with child psychology experts. Seeking to include the input of the community I was building for, I facilitated focus groups with parents and their children. Ultimately, I distributed the prototype boxes to families along the east coast.Upon entering NYU, I started to recognize that while this subscription box was helpful as a short-term solution and mitigated some individualized issues, it fell short of tackling some larger, structural injustices that inhibit equitable access to resources that enable mental well-being. Be it corporate favorability and consumerism or racism and environmental injustice, human flourishing faces intersectional, cross-disciplinary, multi-scalar obstacles. Gaining this knowledge was humbling. I had to pause a project that I hoped would have a demonstrable impact because I realized it would not make a dent in resolving systemic injustice. However, stepping away from it did not mean I grew hopeless. I only grew more curious and determined to understand the complexities of our global systems – social, environmental, political, economic, and spiritual – in order to catalyze meaningful, honest, enduring change.

Started my public speaking journey as a keynote speaker at the Our Minds Matter 2019 gala where I spoke about the state of youth mental and called for the de-stigmatization of mental illness. I continued to speak about topics related to youth mental health for organizations like The Jed Foundation and NAMI, and through media outlets like The Wall Street Journal and The Today Show. Many of my public speaking engagements transformed into workshops and webinars accompanied by self-designed presentations featuring personal illustrations and other graphic design work.
