San Francisco Bay Area (2002-2018)
I've worked extensively as an in-class teaching artist and an after-school director.
From 2015-2018, I was the K-8 visual and performing arts teacher at Ring Mountain Day School. Each year, I directed a play that involved every student in the school.
I worked in the Theater Ensemble at Albany High School for 8 years, directing many of their shows.
I was the 4th/5th grade drama teacher at Berkwood Hedge Elementary School for three years. Each year, the 5th graders wrote and performed a full-length play.
I directed many musicals and plays with the Yes! Program, where I also taught a summer devising/playwriting workshop with middle school students.
Other programs I've worked in:
Civil War drama integration program at White Hill Middle School
Drake High School ("Metamorphoses" by Mary Zimmerman and "anon(ymous)" by Naomi Iizuka.)
Redwood High School
Yes Foundation of the Ross Valley Schools (Highlights include: "Legally Blonde, The Musical," "The Lion King," "Grease," "Chateau La Roach," "The Wiz," and an original, student-written play.)
