…a nonprofit founder, executive director, creative educator, and conversation architect designing human-centered systems where creativity, entrepreneurship, and community can thrive.

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of art, education, technology, and civic life, building programs, learning environments, and public spaces that help people turn ideas into sustainable futures.

I am the founder of The SPACE Free Art For All and the creative architect behind initiatives such as Third SPACE Lounge, Artrepreneurship Lab, and community-driven public spaces including the Cosca Regional Skateboard Park. My leadership has been recognized locally and nationally, including being featured in The Washington Post and being named Greenbelt’s Outstanding Citizen (2021).

My work centers on access, imagination, and equity — but also on the deeper conversations that help people grow into the lives and relationships they want to build.

Through projects like Real Men Grow and the Love Wins conversation series, I explore how creativity, emotional awareness, and honest dialogue can help individuals develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.

I believe:

Education should be human-centered.
Entrepreneurship should be equitable first.
Creativity should be accessible to all.
Growth happens through honest conversation.

Across every project, I design pathways that move people from curiosity → competency → confidence → sustainability — because the future belongs to communities that can create it.
