behind the table.“I want you to know that you WERE my real-life Miss Honey.”
Aside from performing, I am a teaching artist, director, and choreographer. I just graduated with my M.A. in Educational Theatre from Adelphi University!
Some avenues I love to explore under the educational theatre umbrella are: TYA (Theatre for Young Audiences), puppetry, directing, choreography, coaching, and mentorship.
My interest in theatre education sparked after meeting the educators who impacted my life at a young age. I aspire to be just like those educators who support and continue to impact my theatrical journey. I have worked with the Tarrytown Music Hall Academy, Random Farms Kids Theater, Westchester Sandbox Theatre, Connecticut Children's Theatre, Mooney/Cooley Dance, & programs across NY.
