Greetings.<\/h4>\n<\/div>

I am a multi-disciplinary artist with a degree in Creative Arts and Performance Studies. My works have been featured on The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, ABC channel, United Nations Conference, Bali International Reader’s and Writers Festival, Bowery Poetry Club and many others.<\/p>\n

A recipient of both the Excellence Award for Service Delivery for Multicultural Victoria by the Government House and the UNESCO City of Literature grant, I work with organizations and schools to create and facilitate Bollywood dance, poetry-making, public-speaking, leadership and cultural awareness programs.<\/p>\n

I deliver holistic and child-centered music therapy based sessions to support young children in developing their social, collaborative, listening, artistic and linguistic skills.<\/p>\n

I curate heart-centered events that forces the audience to connect with under-explored narratives of marginalized voices and to help people connect authentically across lines of difference – through inclusivity, peer education, inspiration and celebration.<\/p>\n

I am passionate about telling stories of transmuting pain into power and crafting poems and lyrics that will emblazon the heart with hope and positivity.<\/p>\n

I offer individualized instruction for those hearts yearning to share their creative spark with the world.<\/p>\n
