About

Trained in contemporary dance, restorative arts, arts integration, mindfulness, and journalism, she works with students, teachers, and community members of all ages to give agency and facilitate authentic creation of works of art in dance, visual art, writing, or multi-media.

Her ongoing creative focus is on the climate and health.
Program Overview
I custom-design school residencies that focus on the creative process while integrating core or arts curriculum. Through choreography, writing, or visual art process, I help participants develop their creative voice with residencies such as Embodied Storytelling, or activate civic engagement through storytelling and messaging as in The Human Climate Song.
