“My passion for Arts Education stems from a desire to provide a safe space for youth to express themselves through the arts. I have completed a Bachelor of Arts in Dance and Education and am currently completing a Bachelor of Education at York University. I have designed and developed a framework for the post-secondary next steps program which was created to help students navigate their next steps within the arts post-secondary. I have hosted and organized a community dance workshop in support of a local charity called Dancing with Parkinson’s Canada. I am incredibly passionate about mentoring black youth and being the role model, I wish I had as a young artist. My combined education and the acquired experience have equipped me with the skills to be an asset to this project”.
