From school talks to pop-up showcases, I develop programming that centers self-expression, confidence, media literacy, and pathways into arts.

Whether it’s a headline performance, a talk-show special, or a values-aligned collaboration, I bring creative vision, disciplined execution, and an engaged audience.
