Project Coordinator (2021–current); Project Co-Coordinator with Emily Oertling (2018–2021) for the Local Fashion Global Impact project, which engages students in a fair-trade artisan supply chain. Each year, 20–30 meters of hand-loomed fabric are purchased from a Guatemalan cooperative to naturally dye and create products that are sold locally to finance future fabric orders. Students participate in a “product of learning” sales model, applying skills in market research, sustainable design, quality control, branding, promotion, and sales.
