She is the Artistic Director of Adaptive Arts, an off-off company that promotes awareness of Autism through the arts. She also has worked with various companies throughout NY including Women’s Expressive Theater, Impetuous Theater Group, and Boomerang Theatre Company. Recently she received a BA in Theatre Arts from Drew University and is now pursuing a Master’s Degree in Educational Theatre and Special Education at CCNY.
