“I am a dedicated individual who challenges themselves daily to learn and to be a seeker of possibilities. I have an insatiable desire to evolve. I have an extensive and diverse professional background in the performing arts as well as in the education industry in the United States, Asia, and Europe. I delight in the inexhaustible possibilities that each new opportunity illuminates. It personally inspires me to be part of the fabric that is larger than my own limitations. Yet I am also motivated to assist and encourage the people within my environment because they inspire me. It is very gratifying for me to be part of a much larger professional trajectory of growth and evolution”.
