I am a lifetime performing artist, performing arts educator and businessowner who is passionate about creative communication through the arts.  I have also been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.  Being gifted and talented, along with the ADHD, qualifies me as someone who is considered "Twice Exceptional"!  The terminology sounds wonderful! However, my journey has been challenging in many ways.  I have had to advocate for myself as a creative thinker which has empowered me to advocate for others who are talented in the arts.  I have been employed as a performing arts leader for the majority of my adult life. I am privileged to be the founder of Ozaukee Talent, LLC which specializes in bringing arts programming into diverse spaces.  I am also a writer whose official journey began with the writing of the free online book, Chronic Creativity:  A Diagnostic Look at the Condition and How to Become Infected.
