Benefits.

I am a successful result of philanthropic work! I started as a student, then became a teacher, and now I'm an arts administrator. I have worked in Brazil and in the United States as an arts administrator, educator, and performer in public schools, private schools, nonprofits, for-profits, after-school programs, and the entertainment industry. Based on my experience as an arts administrator, educator, and performer, I believe I am the perfect professional to help your organization succeed.
