EBMS Performing ARTS

About me

I am a classically trained theatre actor and educator with more than 30 years of experience using the performing arts to spark curiosity, deepen learning, and inspire personal growth. My work as a Senior Acting and Creative Drama Teaching Artist—supported through the Elizabeth Ann Seton grant—has allowed me to design and implement theatre residencies for over 50,000 students of all ages, including at-risk youth and adult learners. Through these programs, I’ve partnered closely with schools and educators to integrate theatre into vibrant, interdisciplinary learning environments.

Across my career, I’ve been recognized for cultivating classrooms that are supportive, collaborative, and boldly creative. I strive to empower students with the confidence to take risks, the imagination to tell meaningful stories, and the critical-thinking skills necessary to understand both text and the world around them.

At EBMS, my vision is to build on the program’s strong legacy of developing thoughtful, versatile, and career-ready young theatre makers. Over the course of four years, students immerse themselves in intensive training in writing, acting, movement, and directing—supported by a foundation in theatre history and dramatic literature from diverse voices. Whether devising original work or exploring classical texts, students engage in a rigorous and joyful process that examines the human condition and celebrates the power of ensemble.

I am thrilled to join the MCMS faculty and look forward to guiding students as they discover their artistic potential and develop the skills that will serve them both onstage and beyond.
