Prior to returning to college, I've spent the last decade as a self-employed artist, publisher, and community facilitator. Work that, in retrospect, has always been sociological in nature. 

I designed and brought to market multiple original publishing projects, managing every stage from concept through distribution, including crowdfunding campaigns that demonstrated both community interest and organizational capacity. Alongside that, I designed and led workshops and retreats centered on personal growth, creative expression, and identity—including serving as assistant coach for a year-long Mastermind cohort of Autistic and ADHD entrepreneurs and co-facilitating an in-person retreat in Portland, OR for that same community.
