“I have always been intrigued and interested in human beings and what makes them think and act the way that they do, and how this relates to a deep human need for justice and equity. The belief that people are infinitely capable given the right circumstances, drives me to consider how I could contribute to developing the spaces and opportunities people need to develop to their full potential. Enacting and facilitating our creative potential as collectives is a key passion and driving force behind the work that I choose to focus on. 

I love this work because of its innovation and creativity and the way it allows people from different places and spaces to come together and to work on a shared vision. I also believe that I am deeply privileged to listen to peoples’ stories and have them allow me into their spaces in ways that are so welcoming and authentic”.
