ABOUT ME

An educator, an artivist, a luster for life. Born in Miami, Raised in Maryland, Born again in Santa Fe, NM and then in Oakland, CA, and have lived in Washington, DC for the past 2 years teaching for social change, and now working with a travel gap year program in Calistoga, CA. Really I'm just trying to figure out how to best serve the healing of our world. I've done this through direct action, creating community of joyful belonging, helping the young ones shine by teaching them, making art that shines a light where people don't wanna look. Right now I'm on my own healing journey, exploring my rootes in eastern europe, what survived and what was buried.
