She has been a featured guest speaker and facilitator for numerous workshops serving diverse audiences, ranging from seminars and schools, to programs in rural Indigenous communities.
MUSIC COMPOSITION + CREATIVE APPROACH
Her passion for music began in early childhood and eventually led her to study music composition at university.
Growing up in the Caribbean and being deeply rooted in its culture and heritage—musical influences such as reggae and dancehall, with reggae being her favorite genre—combined with her university studies in classical music, jazz, and music theory, gave her a wide perspective on music composition.
This diverse musical foundation, strongly influences her approach to creative projects and storytelling.
