She produced six shows a year and led ten weeks of art camp that included dance, yoga, and playwriting at the JCC. She was also a teaching artist and actor with Shakespeare Festival of St. Louis.

Prior to moving to the Midwest, she worked as a teaching artist, director, and actor mentor with LifePlay Productions, North Coast Repertory Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, Playwrights Project, and the San Diego Unified School District for six years. Locally, she has performed at North Coast Repertory Theatre, the Lyceum Theatre, Scripps Ranch Theatre, Coronado Playhouse, Sixth@ Penn, and with Black Kat Theatre.
