MISSION STATEMENT
By integrating positive education and service learning into arts education and conservatory training, we can foster resilience and bolster well-being among performing artists.
I believe the arts matter and so do the artists. I am committed to disproving the idea that we must suffer for our art. I whole-heartedly believe that you can be an actor and love your life at the same time. My intention is to start a well-being movement in the performing arts community that will ripple into the greater community—connecting us as humans, uniting us through art. When artists thrive, the world flourishes.
