What is one of your favorite memories?  

The first time I saw Sleep No More, an immersive theatre piece in New York. I got pulled into a wardrobe, a gumball stuffed into my mouth, and pushed out through a secret door into a rave with MacBeth's witches. Needless to say, it was a wild ride.

Describe yourself in max three words.   Collaborative, playful, passionate

What is a sound you love?   Any body of water, live jazz, my kid's laughter

Who was your hero when you were a child?  

Jem, of Jem and the Holograms (a fabulously 80's cartoon about a woman who runs a foundation for orphaned girls by day and has a secret identity as a rockstar by night)

You are an artist because….  Art has the unique power to connect people through shared experiences
