I am an educator and artist with over 25 years of experience working in therapeutic classroom settings and creative learning environments with students often underserved by traditional systems. I have seen again and again that creative approaches—art, music, and community-centered learning—are among the most powerful ways to foster engagement and support meaningful growth. I not only lead learning spaces, but also design learning and school engagement plans at both the group and individual level, creating experiences that meet the needs of even the most challenging circumstances while honoring each student’s unique path and potential.
