I am a theatre artist and educator working to inspire literacy development and expanding ways of knowing for people through the arts. I hold a masters degree in literacy education from Binghamton University and have 20 years experience working with young people as a theater director in NYC. My approach to inspiring literacy development is grounded in evidence based research about the science of reading and blends this science with the performing arts to nurture one's creative potential and innate desire to understand.
My experience in education and the arts includes: Fine & Performing Arts Director, ICSD, 2018 to present; Early Childhood Programs, ICSD, 2017 -18; Founder of Caroline Wilderness Performance Academy, 2014; Kindergarten Teacher, Caroline Elementary School 2012-2017; Theater Program Director, Harbor Conservatory for the Performing Arts, East Harlem, NY, 1997-2007; Drama Studies, Adjunct SUNY Purchase, 2007-2009.
I have taught all age groups of emerging readers and writers through individual, small group or whole group classroom settings. My approach is tailored to one's curiosities and utilizes play to further skill development, self knowledge and inspiration.
