I am a multidimensional artist and  scholar who is dedicated to better understanding and facilitating our individual and collective health and healing. My work is holistic — blending research, education, and practices drawn from ancestral & contemporary wisdom. I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center, completing my clinical internship at Kennesaw State University.
