Bio

In June 2007, I joined the Youth Venture Team as an AmeriCorps VISTA Bilingual Program Specialist in the Brooklyn, New York regional office. I recently graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz, with a B.A. in Community Studies and a minor in Education. My ultimate aspiration is to work with the community in the field of Social Work and become an Elementary School Teacher. A year ago, I had the opportunity to complete a field study in Time Square with a non-profit organization called the All Stars Project Inc. The All Stars is an organization that empowers youth through performance and gives them "cosmopolitan experiences", in order to develop and go beyond the limits of their environment! To become a successful Social Worker and Elementary School Teacher, I believe that being knowledgeable about various theories and practices can aim for greater success and empowerment in a community.

Artist Connect: Planning For Better tomorrow

Greetings from United Arts Society!!!

There is a wide range of art forms that most of us aren’t aware of. The realization of the need to bridge this gap has led us to found the United Arts Society. Through this society, we plan to fulfill a noble dream – a dream where everyone is educated about the various forms of art and is also provided every opportunity to further their interests in any chosen field.
UAS has networked with a huge number of artists from various fields of art who have come together to develop a forum which aims to restore, preserve and nurture art. The goal of this initiative is to ensure primary education in art and to revitalize its current state, under professional guidance.
UAS is sensitive towards the condition of art and artists. With our constant market study and strategic approach we are trying to find new work avenues and opportunities for artists in areas of performing, visual and fine arts so that they can continue to work in art field with respect and glory. We call this initiative UNARSO.
We would like to get associated with artists and art organizations to provide a plethora of opportunities, i.e. managing assignments, organizing events, assistance and facilitating. We are looking forward to learning from your experiences and working with you.
We would love to share our vision and dreams with you. Please let us know if it would be possible for you to meet us in our OPEN FORUM MEETINGS happening every Sunday’s at 10am at Time out Café, 5th floor, Sona Towers , #71, Millers Road .
Kindly fill the following form so that you name could be updated in our internation database on our Artist Connect Portal.
