Theater is a true passion of hers; working in the capacity of stage manager (in five productions) throughout her high school career, teaching theater classes to youth under 12 , as well as leading over 140 arts and crafts classes as a DPR camp counselor.
Growing up in the city; She has had the opportunity to experience direct access to all of the museums, concerts, plays, musicals and other experiences, within a 68 mile radius. This exposure has elevated the way that we see the world around us and the ways in which we express them.
She enjoys working with our young leaders and her mission is to aid and learn from them what art can contribute to life and the way that we interact with it and ourselves.
