In my capacity as a community leader & cultural broker I am privileged to use my voice to ignite change and inspire others. Through my different projects, I have the opportunity to encourage social awareness foster personal growth, and recognize the immense impact of the effective communication, as they have the potential to challenge deep-seated assumptions, initiate meaningful dialogues, and ultimately bring about significant positive change.

Facilitator
I am a passionate facilitator who uses communication to inspire change. Since 2017, I've worked with Oregon Humanities, leading presentations like "Everyone Can Be a Leader" and "Art as Activism" in collaboration with organizations, universities, and libraries. My travels across Oregon allow me to engage diverse communities and foster inclusive dialogues. I believe everyone has leadership qualities and advocate for collective responsibility in community transformation.

Former Radio Host & Producer
I hosted and produced FA radio (FusionArte) on KBOO 90.7 FM for seven years. The show profoundly impacted our community by uniting voices, projects, and ideas. It served as a vibrant platform for members to share their stories, fostering connection and collaboration. As a cultural broker, I cherish the opportunity to spotlight our community's growth and dedication, bringing their hard work to the airwaves and amplifying their voices for all to hear.
