I am an interdisciplinary artist based in Kent and London, currently working as a session artist, workshop facilitator, artistic advisor and theatre company mentor, performer, and theatre director dedicated to fostering an inclusive, interdisciplinary ecology for diverse and co-creative communities. I believe creativity drives positive, holistic social change, a healthy climate and holistic well-being for everyone. Therefore, I'm commuted to explore stories, unique artistic approaches and expressions that really matter to community and individual growth.

Based in the UK.

My creative works in general focuses on community based & inspired, holistic (PsychoPhysical+Spiritual), co-creative & interdisciplinary that aim for holistic social change & wellbeing.
