Statement

I have dedicated my time to the arts, humanities, and travel to gather more knowledge about the world and to build the skills necessary to connect with the people in it. With a background in Dance, English, and Spanish, my passion lies with the power and beauty of art, language, and movement. To think, feel, and express oneself is just another way to reach deeper modes of communication and connection to fellow human beings.
​
My current work in the travel industry--specifically in television and radio/podcast production, as well as written work--has given me a new perspective on storytelling for a wide range of audiences across the world. The thrill of being on a production set is only secondary to the thrill of exploring a new environment, culture, and people, connecting with others and learning about what inspires and ignites their community.
My creative work often includes overlapping themes and content from different fields of study; multidisciplinary creation is at the core of my artistic vision. I am compelled to steadily continue building a network of relationships that value art and its effect on humanity.
