I am a Spoken Word poet, educator, speaker, and coach. My unique approach to working with schools stems from blending my poetic expression with a background in education and counseling. I view creativity as the essential foundation for learning, applying it across disciplines. Recognizing creativity's pivotal role in various fields, I advocate for its integration into education. My interactive sessions celebrate imagination, making the therapeutic power of creative expression accessible to all.
