Experience
I have 12 years experience as a playwright and performance poet and have performed work all over the United States and Europe. I have spent the last 10 years facilitating writing workshops for students ages 12-60 in group and one on one settings. My areas of expertise include: character development, dramatic pacing, storytelling, metaphor and imagery , public speaking, and theatrical performance. I worked for 7 years working with children on the autistic spectrum as home school teacher, and classroom aide. I am familiar with ABA, Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy techniques. In addition to creating a supportive learning environment for my students, I also created specified curriculum for students on the autistic spectrum designed to fit individual needs and academic goals.

Hobbies
I love to see my students thrive and approach my teaching style with a compassionate and caring mindset. I think we all learn differently, and I like to adjust my own teaching style in order to fit the needs of my students' personalities. I get excited about working with students and enjoy meeting new people and seeing them grow and improve in the areas they need the most help in. For me, this is the most fulfilling thing about teaching.
