Unlock your supapowers and gifts
The Zink Archive is a living archive of Zink’s art, Public Health research & Technical Assistance, and Educational consulting services.
Does your child dread school? Are you exploring alternative educational options and mentorship? Let’s put a smile back on your child’s face. At Zink’s Educational Consulting, your family will explore learning beyond the classroom–helping your child self-direct their heroic journey from a place of empowerment.
Educational Options
Your child holds unique gifts and together we can help unlock them through self-directed learning — an educational approach that follows your child’s curiosity and goals without a fixed curriculum. Options like homeschooling, college, vocational school, taking a gap year, studying abroad, and so much more! I also offer mentorship in healing their inner child from the wounds of adultism. Nobody is a failure here. We celebrate your gifted, multifaceted child. We celebrate you, too!
Our mission
To empower youth and caregivers in rediscovering the joy of learning with the creative tools to self-direct their educational path forward.
Services I guide youth and their caregivers in rediscovering the joy of learning with a self-directed framework. My 1:1 coaching, workshops and trainings support your child’s Learning goals by centering empowerment and place-based education. Meeting them where they are without centering shame.
