Teaching Artist & Educational IntstructorΒ 

EDUCATOR

Since moving to New York City in 2022, I’ve worked as a teaching artist, director, and choreographer, creating meaningful arts experiences for students of all ages and abilities. From directing musicals and plays to choreographing accessible movement for District 75 productions, I strive to create spaces where every student feels seen, challenged, and inspired.

My classrooms are rooted in collaboration and original creation. I guide students in discovering their artistic voice, developing their own movement vocabulary, and creating original work that reflects their unique perspectives. I believe the arts are most powerful when students aren’t just performingβ€”they’re creating.

Beyond theater and dance, I frequently integrate visual art, photography, technology, writing, and other creative disciplines into my curriculum. With experience in both arts education and K-12 classroom teaching, IΒ designΒ learning experiences that weave creativity into Common Core instruction, supporting academic growth, social-emotional learning, and whole-child development.
