P R O F I L E
I am an inquisitive creative artist, passionate about activating the unheard
voices of individuals; whether in the creative arts (dance, music, theater,
writing, etc.) or justice advocacy, my vocation is to find connections within
the inner self, the community and the global world around us.
Educationally, I seek to present an authentic, inquisitive and holistic
approach in learning, to facilitate the education of the full student.
