Teaching

With a Bachelors After-Degree in Education from the University of Alberta and experience teaching and educating since 2010, I have a passion for inspiring those younger than me. I have taught drama, playwrighting, and Indigenous culture at almost every age level. I even have experience as a grade-level public school teacher and out-of-school-care educator.

Dramaturgy

As a newer part of my artistic exploration, I am interested in helping craft plays with an Indigenous dramaurgical lens. This includes the land as a creation methodology, ancestral positionality, beading, and other forms of Indigenous-led artistic creation processes. I wouild love to bring my dramaurgical lens to your production.

Artistic Residencies

Want to explore drama, storytelling, and artistic process in a safe and caring manner? I am happy to work with your students and help guide them to find their inner artistic voice. From teaching theatre skills to building a full play, I am passionate about mentoring the young
