My passion is creating environments and experiences where people feel seen, known, and valued.
Services
I love telling stories using music, movement, and the spoken word. More often than not, there’s some combination of the three. I also develop and teach arts curricula for a variety of contexts and subjects. That work usually falls into one of three categories: “art for arts sake”, “arts enhancement of another curriculum”, and “arts integration”.
If you want to learn more about these terms, the Kennedy Center has a great breakdown that you can check out here.
