in her words:

As a playwright, I recognize my audience as essential collaborators in the social action of theater, and this same value shapes my approach to teaching. I openly seek my students' help in creating a space conducive to genuine dialogue— one where we acknowledge and embrace the possibility of discomfort, remain mindful of how our identities position us in the classroom, and take collective responsibility for the learning experience.

Analyzing and crafting creative work demands not only thorough and thoughtful exploration, but also a conscious practice of empathy. I strive for these practices to form the foundation of each course I teach, helping students cultivate a sense of critical curiosity about the world. Ultimately, I want students to feel invested in, empowered by, and in control of their learning— not merely for the sake of a grade, but for their own personal growth and artistry. 

in the (anonymous) words of students: 

"The space felt collaborative. I felt like the classroom was an open space, and I had nothing to fear when I went inside. The differences between everyone were embraced with open arms, and I never felt like I had to worry about being anything other than my 100% authentic self."

"[She] always let us write about anything we wanted, no matter how personal or diverse it was; it was always encouraged to write about something we cared or loved."

"We have meaningful discussions which cause me to think about the subject, or beyond the subject entirely."

"Very Great. Great professor. She Loves LADY GAGA same as me. Great professor!"
