Profile
As a professional musician, performer, and recording artist, and as a teaching artist with eighteen years of experience, my career has merged a passion for music and storytelling with a strong desire to nurture creativity in our diverse Cleveland community and beyond. Creating memorable performances on stage and in the studio fuels my imagination. Learning through movement, story and song are intrinsic to my teaching artist work. From concert and festival stages to schools and libraries, I share my passions with enthusiastic collaborators.
