          Aimee is a powerhouse who has not only created an organization the feeds her soul but also that offers her community the opportunity to support youth in a critical yet overlooked stage - adolescence.  She leads her team to provide group experiences that are centered on evidence-based social and emotional skill development. This includes an emphasis on relationship skills, community building, teamwork, problem-solving, conflict resolution, critical thinking, and communication.

          • How diverse cultures have influenced her understanding of what it means to belong 
          • How she combined her own experience with science to design meaningful, evidence-based positive youth development programs 
          • How she distinguishes Cypress Adventures from other after school programs
          • The diverse array of skills that her programming address to meet the unique social, emotional, and cognitive needs of adolescents  
          • The Power of Play, the Power of Curiosity, the Power of Creativity 
          • The learning, dynamism, iterations, and feedback that’s both innate part and required piece of creative ventures 
          • The epiphany she had around her gifts and passions as it relates to her position(s) within the organization
