Actor Educator Scholar

I am an actor, educator, and scholar specializing in Latinx feminism, public scholarship, documentary theatre, and community-based performance.  In addition to my doctoral degree in Drama I have over 20 years of experience as a professional actor (SAG/AFTRA) and public speaking consultant. Teaching performance and communication in the classroom and in the community, and on-line is how I help cultivate civic engagement and public discourse.
