​​​​​I am a licensed social worker (LMSW) and artist with a background in Expressive Arts Therapy. I have over a decade of experience in social justice–driven organizations across the U.S. and internationally.
My current interests include arts-based critical participatory action research and finding accessible ways to maintain an ongoing practice of artmaking as a means of (re)connection.​
​​​
Visual art, particularly collage, has been an important throughline in both my personal practice and the work I do with others. I'm interested in the process of creating: the finding, selecting, sorting, and piecing together of seemingly disparate parts, followed by noticing and reflecting on where relationships, patterns, and perspectives emerge.
​
Working with minimalist compositions and repetitive patterns invites me to slow down and create spaciousness in my thoughts and movements. This approach reflects the work I do with others, offering an experience of grounding, reflection, and potential meaning-making.
