“As someone whose journey has been shaped by the incredible teachers, collaborators, and opportunities I’ve had along the way, I’m passionate about giving back and empowering the next generation of performers. Mentorship isn’t just about passing on skills — it’s about nurturing creativity, building confidence, and helping young artists find their unique voice in an ever-evolving industry.
