From pitch to presentation, I teach children 8-15 how to write, direct, act, shoot, and edit their own live-action film shorts. While participating in the filmmaking program, they are learning valuable life skills such as self-advocacy, communication, collaboration, compromise, and teamwork. I design a full-sized poster for each film, throw a full-camp premiere party, and present all of the films in an end-of-the-summer film festival in the camp's outdoor Greek theater. A week after the festival is an awards banquet where we hand out Scatico Oscars to participants, who also get digital copies of their movies and posters.

I provide film, photography, and arts & crafts programming for 200 campers and counselors living with Crohn's, colitis, and/or IBD. The program is for the Leaders-in-Training (LITs, ages 16-18). Projects include a service project, a legacy project, and an end of summer slide show.

Every year, I present professional childcare training workshops at the American Camp Association's Tri-State Camp Convention, the world's largest camp fair held in the Atlantic City Convention Center. Topics I have presented on include:***The Skill of Reframing***Treating Homesickness Using Grief Strategies***Is Your Camp Doing Enough to Be Introvert-Friendly?***Unlocking the Power of Emotions***Creative Activities for an Inclusive Culture***Saving Face: Finding the Win-Win in Conflict Resolution ***Creative Role Playing for Training Camp Counselors***Filmmaking at Camp: Building on Creativity

I wrote "How Long to Visiting Day? Creative Role-Playing for Training Camp Counselors" and edited and illustrated "Acting for the Camera: Back to One" by Peter Allen StoneCurrently, collaborating on a book called Freedom of Movement with a dancer from London's Royal Ballet.

Director experience gained working with accomplished directors (James Burrows, Joe Russo, Lee Shallat Chemel, Michael Lembeck, Pamela Fryman, James Signorelli, David Trainer, Ted Waas, James Widdoes, Terry Hughes, Barnet Kellman, and Andy Cadiff) on single and four-camera network television shows including Will & Grace, Arrested Development, SNL, That 70's Show, Spin City, 3rd Rock From The Sun, Just Shoot Me, Some of My Best Friends, The Geena Davis Show, The Steven Weber Show, The Kristin Chenoweth Show, LAX, For Your Love, and Camp MTV.

I taught two classes to undergraduates: Period Acting and Historical Production Design. Additionally, I recreated the 1915 opening night of the Al. Ringling Theatre with Rida Johnson Young's hit musical "Lady Luxury" after finding the 200-page handwritten score that had been missing for 70 years. To make sure the event was authentic, I also hunted down the original stage manager's script, costume designs by the famed fashion designer Lucile (Lady Duff Gordon), the original Broadway production photos by White Studios, a rare Edison Blue Amberol wax cylinder recording of one of the songs, and a copy of the Governor's speech from 1915. I wanted it to be an event celebrating civic pride and created a community outreach program that involved over two dozen businesses to support the musical production at the theater and the gala at the Ringling Mansion. This event is documented in a 26-page article I wrote for the Shubert Foundation's magazine "The Passing Show," "Historic Movie Theaters of Wisconsin," and "Sweet Mystery: The Musical Works of Rida Johnson Young."As part of the Al. Ringling Theatre's World Cinema Festival (presenting noteworthy films from around the globe) I curated Hayao Miyazaki's "Tonari No Totoro" and moderated a post-film discussion with the audience.

As a member of the National Theatre's Education Department, I helped to produce BT National Connections (now called Connections). Connections is the National Theatre’s annual, nationwide youth theatre festival. The program is 29 years old and has a history of championing the talent of young people from across the UK. Every year, Connections commissions new plays for young people to perform. The program brings together some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow. In 23/24, they are working with nearly 270 youth companies from every corner of the UK. Connections is open to any company of young people aged 13-19. I also wrote educational packets for educators and students studying for GCSE and A-level theater. Other responsibilities included teaching monthly workshops for professional directors and organizing the mobile productions of Wicked, Yaar! and JoJo the Melon Donkey.

While doing graduate studies in Directing, Design, and Theater History, I taught two classes in Acting and Directing.
