I am interested in facilitating meaningful learning experiences in literacy and arts education. Currently teaching English and directing the theatrical premiere of a short story.
Intro
Through teaching and directing, I bridge the worlds of education and performance. Devising innovative experiences and executing them artistically, I enable adolescents and adults to craft narratives expressing their authentic selves.
Teacher
As an instructional designer and facilitator, I develop original curricula—from original performances of short stories to district-wide language arts programs—that empower students of all backgrounds and abilities to discover their unique voices and bring their creative visions to life.
Director
As a theater director and storyteller, I create unique multimedia productions like the one-person experience called Traces and The Eye That Saw Death, a performance featuring video projection, original sound and movement, exploring temporal and supernatural vision.
My CV
I’ve held a variety of professional positions in New York City academic institutions, teaching English literature to children and adults in addition to writing and providing curriculum in Washington DC public schools.
In addition, I’ve conceptualized and performanced several theatrical experiences, including an ongoing exploration of biopolarism now in its third iteration and an adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ short story, The Eye That Saw Death, that premiered at the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival in 2023. I have also provided narration for audible books and performed radio dramas for the National Edgar ALlen Poe Theatre on the Air on NPR.
I’m based in NYC but available to travel for longer consulting engagements.
