INTERESTS

I love all kinds of creativity and have explored a variety of projects over the years. Thriving in collaboration, I performed in theatre productions and played in a samba band, and I co-directed a youth theatre group that gave young people confidence and inspiration. Independently, I taught myself to use digital creativity tools, for video, music and art, and I enjoy playing piano and guitar.
