My Musical Theater and Wellness Workshops have been hosted at schools around the country including University of Arizona, University of Utah, Emerson College, and Marymount Manhattan College.

I also have a Substack newsletter that comes out weekly with essay reflections, journaling prompts, and an update on all of my offerings.

I am extremely passionate about working with students on acting, musical theater, dance, writing, yoga, wellness, creative coaching, and everything in between. I’m so looking forward to connecting with you!" less...
