Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm a cultural anthropologist in museums and orgs. and focus on how we are all connected by the ways we dance, common histories, and art. Creating experiential, interactive cultural programs that educate youth and adults ; That make people feel... And traveling with a purpose (usually dance or art or museums that make us feel alive)
PHILOSOPHY
Do courage, each second is an opportunity to choose courage rather than fear, mediocrity is not an option. The quality of our relationships and how much we use our gifts to give, inspire, and educate is what it comes down to...
