I've spent my career building organizations that bring people together, but my passion has always been creativity and helping others discover what they're capable of.
As the founder and Executive Director of Mount of Angels, a Los Angeles nonprofit arts organization, I've had the privilege of creating programs that help young people build confidence through art, music, and hands-on creative experiences. Along the way, I've worked with hundreds of youth and community members at public art events, workshops, and outreach programs throughout Southern California.
One of my favorite things about teaching is watching someone go from saying, "I'm not artistic, " to proudly holding something they created themselves. That moment never gets old. I believe creativity isn't about being perfect—it's about trying something new, having fun, and leaving with something you're genuinely proud of.
Our workshops are designed to be welcoming, relaxed, and beginner-friendly. Whether you're making your very first custom T-shirt or you've been crafting for years, I'll guide you through the process step by step. My goal is for every student to leave with new skills, more confidence, and a one-of-a-kind creation they can't wait to show off.
Something many people don't know is that every class also supports a bigger mission. Proceeds help fund Mount of Angels' programs for young artists, providing creative opportunities, mentorship, and a safe space where kids can explore their talents and build brighter futures. When you take a class, you're not just making something for yourself—you're helping make creativity more accessible for the next generation.
I look forward to creating with you!
