I am a creative entertainment and education professional and a practicing teaching artist.

My expertise is in the realm of education and outreach with a specific focus on arts and youth programs.

As the Arts for Social Change Director at Infinite Spectrum Productions I oversee the education and outreach efforts for a professional film company. My work encompasses facilitating socially conscious film and new media projects and coordinating education programs throughout the local community. I facilitate collaborations between filmmakers and community organizations to develop "message" projects such as The Faythe Project, currently in development. The Faythe Project is a teen dating violence initiative that includes a comprehensive integrated curriculum that will be provided to middle schools. The package will include a short film, a one act play and plans for lessons in key courses from English to Health. Our education projects include internships for youth, afterschool acting classes and summer camp experiences.

My strength in arts education and outreach is why I was asked to become part of the Peer Consultant's Roster for the Arizona Commission on the Arts. My outside of the box approach to arts funding allows me to create innovative collaborative projects that serve the community in ways that go far beyond the arts aesthetic.
