ABOUT KETURAH KENDRICK
Accomplished author and freelance writer specializing in personal narrative, reported essays, women\'s issues and pop culture critique. Bylines in The HuffPost, Newsweek, MSNBC, Insider, Next Avenue and USA Today. Extensive background in education and travel, with proven ability to cover both topics through various lenses. I also provide private coaching sessions for writers and facilitate classes for young adults who struggle to write personal narratives. In addition, I bring a wealth of knowledge into the learning and development space. A skilled workshop facilitator and learning path designer, I conduct needs assessments with relevant stakeholders and create engaging content that addresses knowledge gaps. With a specific focus on young adults new to the workforce, I coach senior managers through effective ways to support these team members. I also design workshops for junior team members on developing critical soft skills that can be leveraged in the workplace. I\'ve spent half a decade working in the youth development and social-emotional learning (SEL) spaces. Coaching K-12 educators, youth mentors and school and district leaders, I guide stakeholders through creating authentic, safe learning environments where academic and social-emotional skills can be developed with intention. A former English Language Arts (ELA) teacher with fifteen years experience, I also create content that reinforces key literacy skills for learners of all ages and levels. Supporting educators and caretakers of school-aged youth, I\'m able to facilitate workshops and lead learning communities toward SEL and ELA development.
