I'm a former nurse who works as a Community organizer and activist in East Gainesville. I started the Greater Duval Neighborhood Association, a resident-based advocacy group to address gentrification in East Gainesville. Because of that work, I was invited to present a TED talk for UF on Partnership over Protest and sought to build a better relationship with the University( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-7nQwLf5Ks) I was first introduced to my current work in the Arts as a community advisor for the SPARC352 initiative where I am currently the Project Manager for the SPARC352 Mellon Award.
