               With over a decade of experience as an arts educator and administrator, I am proud to continue to serve the diverse Bay Area community and beyond (via Zoom). I have taught undergraduate courses in: Musical Theatre, Acting, Theatre for Young Audiences, and Theatre Productions at San Diego State University. I've also served at academic institutions such as UC Berkeley, TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, The Academy of Arts University in San Francisco, ACT Young Conservatory, and San Jose City College. I am a member of the Musical Theatre Educators' Alliance (MTEA).

Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (EDI) Consultant

               As an experienced and outspoken advocate for the causes of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), I believe in a proactive and practical approach. To celebrate and promote EDI within an organization is more than just a mission statement on the company's website. Institutional leadership must commit to conscious and continuous EDI work to actively fight against systemic racism and inequity, while holding every level of organization accountable for its progress. Acknowledging that the American Theatre is a predominately White and, therefore, inherently racist art form is the first step to healing and rebuilding our industry. As leaders and educators, we have the responsibility to recognize the missing and underrepresented communities in the space, make room for them at the table, and then uplift their voices and works. Only then can we began the long process of creating a more equitable and inclusive community that not only celebrates and unites, but also transcends. We owe it to the our future generations of theatre makers and artists. 

               I am proud to be offering my EDI consulting services and partnering with several local Bay Area theatre companies to help rebuild their organizational structure to become anti-racist, inclusive, and welcoming. I am currently the resident EDI Consultant and Casting Director at South Bay Musical Theatre, an Artistic Associate at Hillbarn Theatre, and serve on the EDI Council at 42nd Street Moon.

I look forward to working with your organization to fully embrace and incorporate EDI into all aspects of your work.
