Projects & Portfolio
Systems Design • Education Innovation • Governance & Compliance
Across my career, I have led projects that connect values, institutions, and governance — helping organizations design structures that serve people with clarity, purpose, and integrity. The initiatives below represent different moments in that work, each contributing to how I now approach public-interest law and institutional accountability.
1. Community & Leadership Initiatives
Projects rooted in formation, collaboration, and values-driven design
These projects come from the earliest phase of my work, where I learned how groups build trust, how leadership develops, and how ethical decision-making shapes communities. They continue to inform how I understand partnership, culture, and organizational coherence.
CLAY Team Sports
I helped develop multi-denominational youth sports leagues, camps, and mission programs that brought together students from more than a dozen faith traditions. My role included designing devotional and leadership curriculum adaptable across denominations and coordinating partnerships that supported safe, inclusive, and developmentally grounded programming.
Created… Music Project
I launched youth music programs inside churches and coordinated community music festivals that blended artistic expression with mentorship and outreach. These initiatives required logistical planning, cross-organizational coordination, and narrative design aimed at building inclusive creative spaces for young people.
Six Thirty Saturday Nite
I led a weekly online service that reached viewers in over 80 countries, developing content that balanced storytelling, global accessibility, and copyright-safe streaming practices. Managing this project introduced me to complex licensing, IP considerations, and platform governance — experience that later shaped my interest in legal systems and compliance.
2. Civic Education & Institutional Innovation
Projects that strengthen public understanding and build institutional capacity
These initiatives come from my work in education, where I focused on connecting civic literacy with structural understanding — helping schools and programs create systems that promote agency, clarity, and accountability.
NYC Department of Education: Civic Readiness & Legal Studies Pathways
I directed schoolwide initiatives that earned state approval for the NYS Seal of Civic Readiness and the Legal Studies CTE designation. This work required aligning instruction with state standards, designing documentation systems for audit review, and building governance structures that supported sustainable civic programs.
Johns Hopkins University – Center for Talented Youth
I developed CTY’s social entrepreneurship course and guided students through policy-writing and governance exercises, including improvements to the CTY Student Code of Conduct and orientation systems. This experience strengthened my commitment to helping institutions translate values and policies into clear, functional frameworks.
3. Governance, Documentation & Compliance
Projects that connect communication, legal standards, and organizational systems
These initiatives represent the link between my educational work and my transition into law. Each project reflects a deepening focus on structure, transparency, and responsible institutional practice.
Creative Visual Studio – FOIL Documentation & Transparency Systems
I designed a multi-stage workflow for FOIL/FOIA compliance that helped map institutional decisions, clarify procedural timelines, and build documentation structures aligned with public-records requirements. This project became a catalyst for my interest in administrative law, accountability systems, and the role of transparency in public institutions.
