About Me

My mission is to empower people of all ages and abilities to enhance their health, wellness, learning, and creativity. My passion is to provide open and supportive spaces for families, friends and communities to connect through the arts.

I have worked with various organizations and individuals in Metro Vancouver including elementary and secondary schools, daycares, group homes, and hospitals. My hope is to bring music into people’s lives and work together with them to find ways to improve their mind, body, and spirit.
