 Creativity fuels introspection, action, and transformation

As an active member of my community, I've dedicated myself to creating space for emerging and experienced writers and artists to explore and be inspired. From my classroom experiences to my support of artist residencies, my commitment to independent presses, and my experience as an arts in education facilitator and coach, I've seen the power of voice and the importance of hearing, experiencing and understanding people of all backgrounds.
