a note from...
When it comes to my work in art, I have one,
very specific goal:
to cultivate and guide the communication and performance skills of young artists.
Whether prepping for college interviews, crafting presentations, prepping auditions, or honing competitive performances, my focus always remains consistent.
Together, we'll never only be focusing on a singular performance or a fleeting moment of acclaim;
together we will foster your skills, a lifelong ability to communicate, and an understanding of how to connect and captivate.
That's my purpose and that's my promise.

The Power of Feminity
inspiring me from Jan 2022 - present
Ever since Roe v. Wade was repealed in 2022, my thirst for furthering the conversation about The Feminine and "Female" has been nearly all encompassing.
I will talk your ear off about the social crucifixion of the Kardashians, the economic power of feminine influence, and how to further equalize the genders *sunglasses emoji*
