She currently resides in Washington, D.C. producing video and web content for Advocates for Youth, a national non-profit that creates opportunities for youth mobilizing on sexual education policies.

Her youth driven electronic quilting project, Woven Futures, with Daniela Rosner, is being published in the book DIY Citizenship (MIT Press) in the Fall of 2013. She is the creator of Feminist Craft Corner and the producer/director of the public/web access television show Jerkwaterburg/Feminist Craft Corner.
