I am a Brooklyn-based educator, theater artist, and researcher who works across the world to bridge cultural divides, promote civic engagement, and explore issues facing communities in innovative ways.

​

I believe that every individual and community has the arsenal of knowledge and tools to address the problems they face. Theater and storytelling are two methods that I use with groups to unveil these resources and organize for social change.

​

My recent work includes using theater with high school students to talk about cultural heritage between right and left-leaning regions of the United States, storytelling with recently arrived Afghan refugee youth to re-learn how to imagine and play in the face of trauma, supporting dialogue between police community members in New York City with improvisation techniques, and more.
