As a musician, artist, writer and creative stakeholder, my mission in civic life is to be of service. Using my creative skills to identify and [re]define issues, then activating my deep personal connections across the spectrum of city life - in business, the arts, politics, academia and activism - I work to create and facilitate actionable ideas and projects that strengthen community and support all New Yorkers in creating pathways to empowerment, particularly those who are underrepresented and under resourced.
I am focused on positing human centered complexity as a core attribute of urbanism, sustainable economic development, innovative city planning policy and public education that bridges the digital divide creating pathways into the new economy for all.
