I have taught dance and theatre to ages 1-76; I actually began teaching when I was only 13, as a teaching assistant at my synagogue. Over the years (and once I turned 18), I had more and more opportunities to help young performers hone their craft and discover a love for theatre. In college, I founded my campus's only musical theatre company to allow students a place to discover and explore musical theatre. I have taught both private lessons and group classes of 25+ students. I teach private voice lessons, dance, acting, musical theatre, and audition prep.

I Wrote a Book!
I Wrote a Book!
The summer after my sophomore year of college, I participated in Pomona College’s RAISE program, which funded individual student research projects during the pandemic. For mine, I spent the summer researching the many different facets of theatre, from lighting to producing to working with kids. It is so important to me to understand as much of the theatre as I can, both for the tangible skills, as well as the empathy and compassion that comes with truly understanding the roles of your team members. So that is what I set out to do! I read about everything, from Stanislavsky to Spolin to Theatrical Intimacy. I interviewed directors, producers, and artistic directors from across the country. I also got hands-on experiences creating theatre and utilizing these skills myself. And, as my final project, I compiled all of my findings into a book that I was so excited to share with everyone.

I was the first ever teenager to be promoted from Teacher’s Assistant to Teacher, at only 16 years old. In this position, I worked with students in grades K-7, taught Hebrew, and served as a substitute teacher. Within my elective, I developed and taught curriculum combining dance and theatre with Jewish values and traditions. I continued this position throughout high school, and still maintain connections with the students I taught, many of whom have now gone on to pursue theatre and dance in high school and beyond.

In 2023, I created the Summer Studio Performance Series at I Can Do That! Performing Arts Center, a program I designed to allow low-stake and short-term commitment performance opportunities. These showcases had rehearsal periods of 1-2 weeks, with daily 90 minute rehearsals, culminating in a costumed in-studio performance. This program provides series both for young students, and for adults looking to try out theatre.
