"Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art."
-Stanislavsky
My work lives at the intersection of creative empowerment and holistic wellness. Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a passion for helping individuals and communities connect and grow through the arts. From nonprofit leadership and education to the performing arts, I’ve always focused on creating inclusive spaces where people can explore themselves and the world around them.
My journey started in Washington, D.C., working with organizations like The American Alliance for Theatre & Education and Imagination Stage, where I developed a deep appreciation for how the arts can inspire and transform. In Florida, I continued that mission at Asolo Repertory Theatre, leading outreach initiatives that fostered creativity and self-expression.
At American Stage, I had the privilege of leading Education & Outreach, where we expanded access to the arts for people of all ages. My work focused on making sure every program was rooted in inclusivity and connection, whether it was children discovering their voices or adults reigniting their passion for learning. I continued to champion arts access at the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, building programs and partnerships that brought people together and sparked meaningful community change.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, I founded Project Spotlight to give young creatives a platform to share their stories. Now, as I pursue my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I’m excited to combine my passion for the arts with therapeutic practices to support individual and collective well-being.
