I&#8217;m\u00a0thrilled to be the new Interdisciplinary Arts Coordinator for the Creative Arts Across Disciplines Initiative at Vassar College!<\/p>\n<p>As a native of Hyde Park, New York, it&#8217;s great to be back home in the Hudson Valley. I have spent many summers here since 2007, when I was the Education Director, and then Producing Director, for Vassar and New York Stage and Film&#8217;s Powerhouse Theater.<\/p>\n<p>After completing my\u00a0graduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh, where I\u00a0earned an MFA in Performance Pedagogy\u00a0and won the Elizabeth Baranger Excellence\u00a0in Teaching Award, I\u00a0returned to my\u00a0undergraduate alma mater, New York University&#8217;s Tisch School of the Arts, and to the CAP21 Musical Theatre Conservatory. From 2010-2014 I\u00a0served there as the Industry Practicum Director, \u00a0I was a member\u00a0of the acting faculty, taught a course on\u00a0the business of theater,\u00a0in addition to directing several projects, ranging from main stage productions to experimental workshops. At CAP, I\u00a0also advised\u00a0graduating students, working\u00a0with them to navigate their early careers, before, during, and after showcase.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to\u00a0Pitt, CAP21, and Powerhouse, I have\u00a0taught classes and workshops at the Stella Adler School of Acting, Viterbo University, The National Theater Institute, The New York Theater Educator&#8217;s Association, and\u00a0US Performing Arts Camps. I have\u00a0coached students for KCACTF as well as graduate school auditions.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my\u00a0other experience includes working for a bi-coastal talent agency, for several casting directors, and in the offices of the world-renowned Nederlander Organization.<\/p>\n<p>As a performer, I was lucky to\u00a0tour with national companies of\u00a0<em>Crazy for You<\/em>,\u00a0<em>West Side Story<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Wizard of Oz,<\/em>\u00a0and,\u00a0<em>White Christmas<\/em>; to work with\u00a0numerous regional and stock credits and perform in\u00a0<em>The Radio City Christmas Spectacular.\u00a0<\/em>I continue\u00a0to be a proud member of Actor&#8217;s Equity Association.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
