• As a teaching artist and educator, I bring a unique blend of professional theater experience and a deep commitment to student-centered learning. With an MFA in Playwriting and a background in directing, I have spent more than ten years teaching students of all ages—from preschool through college—in a wide range of communities, including charter schools, higher education, and rural arts organizations. My expertise lies in curriculum development, arts integration, and fostering inclusive, supportive classrooms where every student can thrive.
• My career goals center on continuing to expand access to high-quality arts education while serving as both an instructor and leader. I aim to create innovative curricula that blend creative expression with academic growth, direct and produce theatrical works that engage and inspire students, and cultivate spaces where young people feel empowered to take risks, collaborate, and develop their own artistic voices. Ultimately, I am dedicated to advancing the role of the arts in education while preparing students with the creativity, confidence, and resilience they need to succeed.
