At its core, my work as a DJ is about bringing people together. Whether it’s a packed-out club, a wedding, or a community event, music creates connection—and I see that as a real contribution. I’ve used my platform to support local causes, mentor up-and-coming DJs, and create inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome. I’m intentional about playing diverse sounds that reflect different cultures and voices. My business helps build culture and community—both on and off the dance floor.  Read More>>

Taking over the flower shop two years ago brought me an unexpected joy. It’s been an incredible experience to be part of so many meaningful moments in people’s lives—weddings, baby showers, birthdays, holidays, and even the simple, everyday gestures that bring a smile.

My business of bringing an Interactive Drum Circle to events, summer camps and schools helps the community with a hands-on, participatory activity that is inclusive and brings people of all ages together.
I am thankful for the chances I have had to bring group drumming to diverse groups. I have done sessions for kids at different summer camps, and done groups of children and adults with disabilities. I have facilitated events for Jewish women at Rosh Codesh (new moon festival) and a “celebration of life” drum circle on the beach for a family to remember a relative who passed away.  Read More>>
