With a background in fine arts and literature, Ali brings creativity, confidence, and a deep passion for youth advocacy into every workshop. They thrive on making big conversations engaging and accessible, using humor, storytelling, and a high-energy approach to connect with
young people. Known for their colourful outfits and dynamic presence, Ali creates spaces where students feel heard, empowered, and ready to challenge social norms.

Outside of PROJECT ROCKIT, Ali is an artist and writer exploring pop culture, internet nostalgia, and what it means to grow up online. Their work blends satire, sculpture, and digital media to spark conversations about identity and the world we live in.

If you spot Ali in a workshop, they’re probably hyping up a student’s idea, dramatically reenacting a niche pop culture moment, or wondering if their outfit has enough patterns (it never does).
