hi y'all
If you've stumbled your way onto this page, I am assuming that you are a loving family member, a supportive friend, or maybe a future creative collaborator. Regardless of your journey to this moment, I am honored that you chose to share a few minutes of your time to read about who I am.
To know me is to know more than my accolades, my training, or that I have a collegiate-worthy tendu. To know me is to know my love of community, my passion for sharing home-cooked meals and good wine with friends, and my zealous inclination to say yes to all things...or rather, my struggle to say no to fun things.
I love people and relish in the ability to learn something new from someone else. I am deeply interested in work that is a reflection of the world we live in--representative of the unique perspectives that make life interesting, flavorful and spicy. The spice is important. Born and raised in South Louisiana, I am an avid fan of spice.
​​
But all spices need a balance in flavor. Too much of one ingredient overpowers a meal, and no one wants to eat something that's boring and one-noted. Much like a well-balanced Cajun meal, I enjoy creating and consuming art in a full array--a rotating menu of visual, physical, audible, and immersive dishes that leave you feeling inspired and nourished.
Okay cool, but we want the accolades and training...
