I’ve refined decades of experience as an entrepreneurial artist and sought-after career development expert to the design of interactive workshops on career and entrepreneurial topics which challenge participants of all ages and backgrounds to create, collaborate, and lead.
These workshops center on a service-based approach to arts entrepreneurship – where is there a need, and how can we address it in expanding opportunity for others? Workshops help supplement and enrich academic programs by integrating with student projects and coursework, with each visit providing a focal point for putting what we’ve learned into practice in a lively interactive setting.
