Mission
My work as a performer, storyteller, and teacher helps people, disabled and non-disabled alike, find their voice and tell their story.
The Work
Performance, story, and teaching, all one practice.
Whether it's a concert hall, a classroom, or a church choir, the work is the same: helping people find their voice and tell their story.
That takes different forms depending on the day: performing on stage, coaching students one-on-one, leading a masterclass, or advocating for more accessible arts spaces. The forms and spaces change, but the purpose stays the same.
