I have over a decade of experience in the field of arts and healthcare. I am co-founder of Indigo Art Therapy Studio LLC and co-founded a nonprofit art center supporting artists with disabilities. I've worked in outpatient rehabilitation, hospitals, behavioral health, and classroom settings. I have provided trainings and workshops on art therapy, mindfulness, and accessibility. As an individual with disabilities myself, I genuinely understand what it means to lead an adaptive lifestyle.
