RELATED PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
2023 - 2021 Founder of Women’s Mystery School
As the founder, my role involved developing a curriculum that aligned with a seasonal theme. Each quarter centered on a specific element of Women’s Spirituality, covering Birth Mysteries, Sex Mysteries, Blood Mysteries, and Death Mysteries. The lessons were presented in video, audio, and written booklet formats for comprehensive engagement. Each lesson delved into historical customs and myths, offered a feminist perspective, included interactive activities, and provided meditations or spiritual practices.
2024 - 2000 Content Strategist, Self-Employed, Contractor for creating curriculum
As a content strategist, I collaborated with entrepreneurs to transform their content into structured curricula, allowing them to broaden their services through courses. For two clients, I reviewed their book and adapted the content into a group program. With other clients, I absorbed their vision and approach to working with individuals, aiding them in developing a course aligned with their distinct vision and audience. Additionally, I guided my clients in incorporating effective pedagogical methods to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for various learning styles.
2013 - 2012 Chief Strategist & Executive Assistant at Seven Sisters Mystery School
I supported the founder with various backend tasks such as website management, interacting with students, co-organizing events, assisting with lectures, presentations, and workshops including our international events (England and Greece).
2018 - 2011 Northern California, Regional Manager and Lead Instructor, & curriculum creator for REALgirl® Empowerment Programs
As the Lead Instructor, I not only conducted workshops but also played a pivotal role in developing the curriculum. In addition to designing curriculum for our U.S. programs, I collaborated closely with the head of our international program to adapt existing curriculum or create new, tailored content for specific communities. Our primary international focus was in Guatemala, where we engaged with indigenous children aged 9 and above. They were educated on various subjects including health, nutrition, body awareness, menstruation, consent, setting boundaries, expressing themselves, non-violent communication, gender stereotypes, and more.
