Instruct teachers from LAUSD by tying arts and science together. In this situation I taught a hula about Lahaina on Maui. We discussed the impact of the fire on this region, and the impact it had on the community and the environment. We examined the impact on ground water, and discussed how the winds and vegetation played a roll in fuelling this disastrous event. we discussed how human planning of diverting water was also a culprit in how this fire burned through the town.

I taught children k through Middle school Pacific

Island Dance and Culture for the summer program at Plaza De La Raza culminating in a performance for parents and friends..

Facilitated a workshop on Relief print making utilizing a tortilla press, wooden spoons, and bamboo barren. For teens and adults.

Created masks for one of the actors in the play "Real Women Wear Masks"

This was a workshop for young women who have been incarcerated but were now in a bridge program to reenter society. The goal of this workshop was to provide positive mentoring through art. I was invited to create an image and work with the group on recreating the same mage with their own take on it. Acrylic painting workshop. This was one of the most satisfying events I have been privileged to do.

In collaboration with two other artists we produced the first Chalk Art Festival at Plaza De La Raza in lincoln Heights. Our theme was "Woman, Power. and Strength (Past, Present, and Future).'
