Teaching

Growing up, I was always taught to leave spaces nicer than I found them. I believe in sharing what you know and always staying curious minded. teaching and sharing resources to peers or young artists is part of the collaborative aspect of this beautiful art form. I am also thrilled in the advancements that are currently being made in the intimacy world to protect performers. This is how I do my part to leave this industry better than I found it.
