Summary
The arts can be a bridge between cultures- something every culture has, and yet something that makes each culture unique.
With my experience in various international art forms and foreign languages—as well as in organizing museum exhibits, art shows, concerts, and music festivals with an international scope—I strive to promote greater tolerance, understanding, and appreciation of the world’s diverse cultures through the arts.
