Interests & Experiences
Please tell us about yourself and why you want to serve.
I have been in the creat ive space my entire li fe. As an educator with several backgrounds in the school system, i
t is important to me to integrate creativity into the infrastructure that Ci t i es are built on. It is key for society, culture, business, and poli tics to understand the Arts. The goal is that the world will discover more harmony in every day life, not every so often or only on special occas ions. My personal expertise revolves around Mus ic/Audi o Engineering, Vi sual Arts/Mixed-media/Pa inting, and Creative Direction
(consulting others brings their i deas to li fe through all mediurns of service). These have been my passions for over a decade. I want to serve because our l egacy is bigger than our ab ility to put colors to canvas. My serv
ice will create r i pples for youth, elders, and generations of Stockton to come forward and express themselves. These ri pples will benefit the local economy, local synchronizat i on, and local understanding of regional differences created by those who do not understand what is actually go
ing on in the neighborhoods of Stockton.
Please state the reason you would like to be a member of this board/commission.
The reason I feel called to be a member of the board is because I have been a member of many other organizat
ions wi th milestones and goals revolvi ng around arts and equity. My exper ience allows me the discernment to be unbiased in dee ision making but passionate enough to know what each artist ic project deserves and requires to be frui tfull . I care about the fruit that is given to the city's Art Programs.
