Teaching 

I am passionate about creating spaces for young people to express themselves authentically. There’s something amazing about watching a person discover something new about themself or the world around them. I’m dawn to intergeneration work that brings the wisdom from each generation to the forefront to solve complex issues and gives communities the tools to create social change. 

It has been my privilege to teach with education programs including Goodman Theatre’s Playbuild Youth Intensive, About Face Youth Theatre, and  The Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health.
