Mentorship
“In addition to my work as an artist and producer, I am committed to mentorship. A true highlight of my non-profit tenure was developing a professional apprenticeship program for some of the most promising young artists studying the performing, technical and design arts. Future generations of students who experience the robust arts education programs now available to them will be stronger, more resilient and more innovative. Even if they don’t land in the arts industry, the practice of and appreciation for the arts will create citizens who value and understand collaboration, engage in the sharing of ideas, and show a willingness to apply dedication and focus on any project. I continue to offer mentorship to my former apprentices, and to anyone trying to navigate their way into the field.”
She has taught or lectured at Yale, Harvard University, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, Texas State, the Boston Conservatory, Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre at the University of Oklahoma, Pace, and, her alma mater, NYU.
