About
Civic education has been the driving force behind my career for more than 14 years. As a product of powerful civic learning experiences, I understand the transformative role education can play in preparing students not only for academic success, but for engaged citizenship, meaningful careers, and lifelong participation in their communities.
Throughout my career, I have worked with school districts, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies to develop curriculum, design innovative educational programs, streamline district initiatives, and create sustainable systems that support educators and learners. What began as a commitment to strengthening civic education in Oregon has grown into collaborations with partners across the United States, helping organizations connect their goals to meaningful and measurable outcomes.
Because the work of
civic education is never done.
We help schools, nonprofits, and government agencies transform ideas into action through strategic planning, curriculum design, professional learning, and civic engagement initiatives.

Testimonials
“This consulting work brought clarity and direction to our civics instruction across multiple grade levels. The approach was both visionary and practical—helping us define what strong civic learning should look like while also giving us the tools to get there. The emphasis on student voice, inquiry, and civic identity has strengthened our instructional culture. We are already seeing increased engagement and more purposeful discussions across classrooms.”
Instructional Coach
“Working with this civics education consulting service has been a game changer for our district. They helped us audit our existing curriculum, identify gaps in student civic understanding, and build a clear, standards-aligned pathway across grade levels. What stood out most was their ability to translate big-picture civic goals into practical classroom strategies that teachers could actually implement. Our staff feels more confident, and our students are engaging in discussions we didn’t think were possible at this level.”
District Administrator
“I was initially unsure about bringing in an outside consultant, but the support and collaboration exceeded my expectations. The sessions were thoughtful, relevant, and immediately useful in my classroom. I walked away with lesson ideas, discussion frameworks, and assessment tools that made civics feel alive for my students. More importantly, my students are now asking deeper questions and connecting content to real-world issues in a meaningful way.”
