East Falls, Philadelphia, PA How long? Back and forth between East Falls & Mexico since 2015 (purchased her home here last year) Favorite thing about your house? I love its history of merchant and artist occupants. As part of the initial commercial corridor established here, I have seen old photos that show my block as a bustling marketplace. It’s nostalgic. What do you like most about your job? My work has the potential to transform spaces and include people. Communities are living mosaics. I like collaborating and building creative teams. Where’s your happy place? One place I always feel peaceful is the Waterworks and surrounding gardens behind the Art Museum. What do you do for fun? I’ve been organizing arts based tours and events. I’m planning a tour to Mexico this summer that involves making murals and cultural exchanges.How do you prefer to around the Falls? I always take the scenic route.
Secret talent? I whistle like a bird.
What does your photo say about you? I’d like people to become curious about the work I do and consider getting involved whether it’s taking a workshop, participating in a community project, or learning more about how to support local revitalization initiatives through arts programs. Motto or favorite quote? Hitch your wagon to a star. Anything else? In partnership with a local organization, I will be hosting a fundraiser this spring that supports arts and beautification initiatives. More info soon. Find me at the EF farmers market or on Facebook.
