I’ve spent over ten years bringing creative expression and wellness practices to students in 20+ schools, juvenile hall sites, continuing education programs, and well know training studios. I specialize in creating inclusive, kind, and empowering environments where students of all ages—from Kindergarten to College—can connect with their creativity and build confidence through the arts. My approach is rooted in empathy, self-expression, and emotional well-being, helping students grow not just as artists, but as individuals.
