PRESENTATIONS

Sharing research, ideas, resources, and experiences with others is an important part of my role as an artist educator. Working with a range of organizations, from community non-profits to international professional conferences, I enjoy providing opportunities for arts advocates to gather and discuss contemporary topics and current trends relevant to the field. Visit ADVOCACY to learn about other community related events and CONTACT for information about how I can share my experiences with your group.
