I can't remember a time in my life where the arts weren't central to my identity, I mean, I'm fairly certain I was born singing, not crying. I've been performing all my life, and know that the arts bring a certain peace to my soul that nothing else can. Although a life-long Columbia native arts enthusiast, Access Arts is a relatively new organization to me. I was introduced to Access Arts during my time working with the Office of Cultural Affairs, and was immediately struck by the organization's mission and impact. Creating opportunities for folks to engage with the arts without barriers is life changing work, and I'm thrilled to be supporting that mission and this organization through this year's CelebrARTy event.

Access Arts has been a community mainstay for decades. NVAD has partnered with Access Arts, and it has been my pleasure to participate in these collaborations.

I’m a student, I just graduated from Hickman High-School and am planning on attending MACC in the fall! I have experience working on livestreams with Vidwest, was Hickman Film Clubs president this past year, and have worked with another local filmmaker.
I love what access arts is doing for the community! I’m so excited to help out especially through the art I love-film!

I am currently vice president at my film club at school, and have a have space of people with same interests. I want to bring that same experience and community with the public, by working and helping out artists and those of same interests.
