Some quick notes about me, personally:

I will dabke and Armenian line dance until my knees give out.

I believe living in itself (can be) an art practice.

Spirituality and pleasure are not mutually exclusive.

I am queer and use they/them pronouns.

The vegan manti at Carousel made me cry.

My current favorite karaoke song. & my backup~

Some quick notes about me, professionally:

I tell stories and build worlds.

I think about what links us to our pasts and potential futures.

I think about our environments and the cycles that provide the rhythm and tempo of our lives.

I work reciprocally, moving fluidly between making, writing, concept and object.

I think about hybridity, spectrums of being and how we understand belonging and otherness.

I value the roots of my tradition but am not bound by figments of an idealized past.

There is no home to return to; and it does not sadden me for the journey elsewhere is more interesting.
