I'm thrilled to share that I've been chosen as a presenter at the International Teaching Artist Conference in Auckland, New Zealand this September! This is a huge honor, and a fantastic opportunity to share my knowledge of 'Design Thinking for Creative Expression' with a global audience of teaching artists. The conference will be hosted by ITAC’s New Zealand Hub: the Centre for Arts and Social Transformation (CAST) at Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland, September 5-7, 2024.

Unfortunately, the travel costs to New Zealand are quite steep, and I'm reaching out for your help to make this dream a reality. My husband and I are scheduled to leave for New Zealand, September 1st, arriving on September 3rd, and our goal is to raise $8,000 to cover flights, accommodation, and conference fees.

Any contribution, big or small, would be deeply appreciated. I am beyond humbled to have been chosen as a presenter and given the opportunity to share this experience with teaching artists from around the world! To donate, please visit my GoFundMe page https://gofund.me/1b9778ee

Thank you so much for your support!
