Experience
I am a playwright, director, and teacher and am currently an MFA playwriting candidate at Brooklyn College. I have taught and tutored students in a variety of subjects at a range of grade levels since I was an undergraduate at Kenyon College. I am currently enrolled in a pedagogy course on the theory and practice of teaching basic writing and English composition at the college level--ultimately, I hope to teach playwriting and English at the university level, but I deeply value the opportunity to work with students of all ages. Prior to moving to Brooklyn, I worked as Director of Development and Educational Programming for a small environmental organization in Davenport, Iowa. I won several major grants to implement arts-based educational programs such as an environmental play reading series and a site-specific podcast project. In Davenport, I also freelanced for Rosetta Stone, writing scripts for a medical interpretation course and proposing storylines for a series of children's stories. Also in Davenport, I continued to tutor students ranging from kindergarten to 10th grade in math and English and taught tutorials in business English to international employees at John Deere. In 2012-13, I served as artistic intern and later associate at the Seattle Repertory Theatre, where I read and selected new plays for production, facilitated new play development programs, and worked one-on-one with playwrights in the process of creating new work. I also coached high school acting students to prepare them for the August Wilson Monologue Competition, and supported one of my students to a third place victory at the national competition in New York. On graduating from college, I wrote educational materials for Apex Learning, an online education company based in Seattle. I helped develop their Spanish III and AP Spanish courses. I also translated loan narratives for Kiva, an online microfinance organization. At Kenyon College, I tutored individual students in introductory Spanish and taught four hour-long, undergraduate-level classes each week in introductory Spanish classes with a focus on intensive grammar and vocabulary review. During my matriculation at Kenyon, I also served as intern and later literary associate at the Kenyon Review, where I facilitated the Kenyon Review Wiggin Street and East Elementary School teaching programs, mentored and supervised high-school writing students, organized educational activities, and coached readings and performances of literary works. As intern and guest instructor at the Globe of the Great Southwest in 2009, I taught and directed Camp Shakespeare, a week-long camp for middle-school students.
