I lead House of SpeakEasy, a New York City-based nonprofit grounded in the belief that reading and writing empower individuals to understand their rights, express their identities, and engage boldly and empathetically with the world.

Our programs champion literary culture and educational equity—from our Bookmobile, which seeds home libraries and book gardens across NYC, to our monthly literary cabarets and classroom engagements that support writers as educators and educators as writers. As we grow, my focus is on deepening our community impact: defining and funding opportunities where a love of literature leads to lasting educational, civic, and personal outcomes.
