Many of us move between roles, often wondering how all the pieces of our creative and professional lives connect. But sometimes the intersections are exactly where purpose, growth and social change take root.
In my latest piece in the Bangkok Patana School Term 3 Magazine, I reflect on how my journey as a teacher, author, artist, researcher, performance poet, curator and public speaker has come full circle in the most purposeful ways.
Over the past two decades, I’ve worked across disciplines, countries and communities – but a few things remain central to all that I do:
- Creativity that connects
- Education that empowers
- Community-building that uplifts
At the heart of my work is a belief in the power of interdisciplinary learning – where teaching, creative practice and innovation converge to shape authentic, future-facing education. Whether in the classroom, on the stage or in the studio, I’m passionate about supporting multi-passionate individuals and cultivating environments where young people can build essential future skills such as analytical thinking, resilience, creativity, leadership and self-awareness, and where adults feel empowered to embrace their talents with courage.:
How can we keep creativity central in education’s evolving landscape?
What does it mean to nurture visionary, compassionate leaders through authentic and interdisciplinary practice?
I hope this feature inspires educators, creatives and changemakers to reflect on the role of their work in shaping a more authentically connected and multidisciplinary life.
