One amazing thing I’ve done was help organize free community events for children and families in low-income neighborhoods through the Performing Arts Club in Culver City. My favorite was a Christmas celebration with cookie-decorating, coloring tables, a Santa meet-and-greet, and gift-giving — seeing the kids’ faces light up was unforgettable.

I can teach you as much as you’d like to learn — whether it’s writing poetry or fiction, cooking, dancing, having an open-minded debate, or even building a shed! I love learning just as much as teaching. To me, it’s all about exchange — giving and taking, sharing and growing together. Most of all, I want to share stories, laughter, and experiences that remind us how much we all have in common, no matter where we come from.

A care-free environment, positivity, inclusion and healthy community.
