I am a theatre teacher and playwright passionate about arts education and creating zany, engaging, and meaningful plays for school and community theaters.

I have taught as an arts educator for almost ten years, teaching playwriting, acting, directing, and theatre history.  I have taught with various arts organizations  in New York City including Arts Connection, Urban Arts Partnership, Project Art,  Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey, and others.
