I have facilitated cultural exchange working with international boards of tourism, music festivals, and non-profits. have a Master of Arts in English Literature, which has fueled my interests in creative writing, storytelling, and teaching. I worked as a musician in Austin, Texas where I built a network of musicians who are still colleagues I am in contact with today. I have two music documentary films credited to my name.
