My Project

There’s isn’t much I wouldn’t do for the students I serve, so imagine my surprise when they asked for a cozy, comfortable, yet contemporary space to socialize and learn.

Girls in Pearls, an all 7th grade girls group that works on social skills, daily life goals and financial literacy has asked for a space in our building where they can build on their sisterhood.

The items in this project will be used to design a space where these ladies can not only come together but to invite others into for support, guidance and bond.
