If there’s one thing I’m most passionate about, it’s emboldening the next generations of theatre makers in Canada. As an educator, I’ve been privileged to lead classes, workshops, talks, and adjudications for high schools, colleges & universities, theatre companies, and other organizations in Canada and abroad.

My teaching specialties include playwriting, script analysis, performance, magic, grant-writing, and new-generation storytelling.

Just some of my experiences include:
- Leading theatre workshops and artist talks at high schools and universities across Ontario
- Serving as a guest teaching artist at Humber College’s Theatre Performance program
- Speaking as a guest artist in the theatre program at Queen’s University
- Speaking on panels with the Hamilton Fringe Festival, Momentum Stage, and the HWDSB
- Adjudicating the Wayne Fairhead New Play Award at the NTS Drama Festival
- Teaching numerous Intro to Magic Workshops to students ages 4 to 19 during my time as the resident magic associate for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child with Mirvish Productions
- Creating and leading Magician Camp through Roseneath Theatre for youth ages 6 to 14
- Teaching a Website Design for Playwrights workshop for the Playwrights Guild of Canada
- Leading countless 1-on-1 grant-writing sessions with artists looking to improve their grant skills

I lead my education work with kindness, empathy, positive spirit, and a wide-ranging background and expertise. If you’d like to talk about working together, contact me here!
