Professional Development & Consultation

Prior to joining Lifetime Arts as a fulltime staff member, I was a frequent consultant for them along with other organizations across New York City. I led professional development workshops and classes for arts and community administrators, librarians, school administrators, classroom teachers and teaching artists.  My expertise areas include: school and classroom partnerships, arts integration, curriculum design, team teaching, communication, and creative aging program planning and implementation. My workshops are well structured, experiential, artistic and always engaging.   I strive to make the workshops accessible and playful with the goal that the participants will leave my trainings with hands on tools and strategies that they can use in their own teaching practice.   If you're interested in discussing how I can work with your organization, please contact me.
