- As a sophmore in college I was an intern at Philagrafika and was the main coordinator for a giant public art extravaganza. I worked with hundreds of artists, students and volunteers, created a 260 foot print called Broadstreet Broadside. This mammoth accomplishment allowed Philadelphia to set the worlds record for
the longest print.

- Last fall I spent 5 months in Asia. I was invited to Taiwan as a international artist to teach and spend three months building towards a giant puppet parade in Taipei. Following my work in Taiwan, I travelled primarily in the Philippines to do research for an original performance that I did in March 2008. I received the Leeway Foundations Art & Change Grant that made this trip possible.
