Education & Arts Administration
Community Facilitation, Workshops, & Education
A major passion of mine is working as a teaching artist and facilitator, supporting community and the development of young people. Past experience includes working for the Ypsilanti Youth Orchestra, the Sphinx Organization in Flint, Michigan, founding "No Boundaries Flint: All Arts Camp" in 2016, and leading Detroit Arts Immersion workshops.
Since moving to the Netherlands, I've been active in many different roles as a teaching artist and workshop leader, including at the Leerorkest, The Residents program of the Residentie Orkest, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, CityProms Embrace, and The Mystifiers.
In 2018 I visited Chile, Suriname, and Mexico as a guest teacher at several programs. I taught double bass, clarinet, and improvisation at the El Campamento Musical Marqués de Mancera in Niebla, Chile, and at Orquestando Armonía, through the Boca del Río Philharmonic in Mexico. Lastly, I traveled to Paramaribo, Suriname where I taught free improvisation and creative music making to a varied group of pop and classical students at the Nationale Volksmuziekschool.
