Education is the foundation. Creativity opens possibility. Business thinking turns it into action.
My career has moved through education, performance, youth programs, cultural organizations, community building, and consulting. I have worked as a teacher, performed in bands and marching bands, helped shape experiences connected to music, education, large scale events, international touring groups, buildings and design, and advised organizations as a consultant.
The settings have changed, but the work has remained remarkably consistent: connect people and ideas, create environments where others can grow, and turn potential into forward movement.
My non-linear path is the advantage—it helps me see connections across education, culture, community, and business that others may miss.
