MY WORK

I am the Program Manager for the San Benito County Arts Council.  The San Benito County Arts Council is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the arts in San Benito County.  Through our Arts in Education Programs, Community Outreach, and Arts Events we engage the community in meaningful experiences that broaden and deepn our connections to life and each other.

As a California Poet in the Schools, I bring the transformative power of poetry of poetry into the classroom.  California Poets in the Schools has been serving students since 1964 and is one of the largest writers-in-the-schools programs in the nation.
