Hi, I’m Tricia.
I’m a writer and educator based in Houston.
As a writer, I write reports and reviews and help people document and share their best ideas. As a consultant, I help nonprofits and small businesses design, evaluate, and improve their programs to better serve people in need.
Most recently, I’ve written a feasibility study for a future small-batch manufacturing accelerator and a report on the handwork landscape for makers and artisans in Houston. I’ve also facilitated a strategic planning process for a nonprofit safeguarding democracy and developed grant applications for an arts education nonprofit that transforms communities through the power of music.
In the past, I've written resource guides for parents and caregivers, commissioned and edited lesson plans for open sharing in schools and informal learning spaces, and created toolkits to help people adapt innovative ideas to suit their own communities' needs. I’ve worked as a classroom teacher and led teacher professional development events, and I've designed and led workshops for children and adults on subjects including college admissions & financial aid, creative writing, curriculum design, open educational resources, learning and the brain, and educational technology.
