Picture
Who am I ?
I am a parent, partner and professor who believes in the importance of empowering our next generation.

What do I do?

I advocate for the Liberal Arts and the Humanities among the next generation of youth, their parents, and the people and organizations that influence their college decisions.

What problem am I trying to solve?
Despite an ever-increasing need and the existence of exciting career opportunities, the Liberal Arts and the Humanities get a bad rap, and as a result fewer kids are enrolling in these programs.

What is my solution?
I make a strong case for the role and value of the Arts and the Humanities across all fields and disciplines.
I engage and empower students and young professionals to share their understanding of what the arts and humanities are and how they can lead to both profitable and purposeful careers. 
I build bridges between professional and academic communities to enhance communication and share mutually beneficial ideas and solutions.

What makes my work different?
Like many, I want to show students and parents the wondrous world of the arts and humanities and the cross-disciplinary opportunities they afford. But I do so with an eye toward the future and the needs of the future workforce. I also include the voices and visions of the next generation through a holistic approach to our work-lives and to the building of diverse and inclusive communities. 

Why do I do what I do?
Because I had wanted to go to art school when I was young. I had no mentor, no money, no understanding of what I could do with a degree in the arts. So I took a different path.
I don’t want any other kid not to be able to follow their passion. Instead, I want to demonstrate, through concrete case studies, how passions can turn into creative careers.
And because I believe that this world of ours needs the kind of social innovation that the Arts and Humanities afford.
