Welcome
As an artist and educator, I believe that stories are more than words in a book. Stories provide connective threads. My curiosity in how we weave these threads together—through ancestral wisdom, dynamic traditions, and contemporary questions—ignites my passion for artistic creation, community well-being, and environmental care. This passion informs ceremonial events designed to mend fractured cultural lineages, where dance, music, storytelling, and theater combine.
Imagine immersive installations and participatory performances that foster belonging, spark transformation, and evoke awe in projects that are collaborative, impactful, and innovative.

Collaborative
Interdisciplinary partnerships include co-learning with artists, educators, engineers, funders, presenters, scientists, and technologists. Visit my Portfolio for examples.
Impactful
My events embrace intimacy and spectacle for healing and civic engagement. An example includes The Ones, a choral forum for local performers about coming of age in an age of guns.
Innovative
I bridge inherited practices with contemporary realities to navigate, then provide places of belonging. An example includes Activist Songbook, to counteract hate and energize movements.
Join me on this journey where wonder guides our connections:
From January 24 to February 2, 2024, I listen with trees as part of Forest Aeternam research in the woodlands of Minnesota thanks to an American Composers Forum McKnight Foundation Visiting Composer Residency.
On March 2, 2024, I help plan and implement Cultivating a Thriving Arts Ecosystem Leadership Symposium in my role as an Associate Professor and Director of Arts Leadership Programs at Seattle University, where I mentor and consider the future of the creative economy and placemaking.
Thanks for visiting and I hope to connect with you at an event or online soon.
