ONE DESK.
MANY FORMS.
I joined ISTA to bring the work of an outside creative agency in-house: publications, photography, design, video and social creative. My documentary background became the foundation for a much wider daily practice.
The assignment: make educators visible, make complex policy understandable, and connect the work to membership and organizing.

Four Why I Joined ISTA testimonials put members’ own stories at the center of recruitment. The series recorded 1.86 million YouTube views in the September 2026 report.
The creative informed a wider recruitment approach: pair member voices with a lighter first step, then connect interested educators to a real conversation.
