Experiential, cross-cultural learning rooted in creativity and connection

I bring over a decade of experience teaching at the intersection of arts, culture, and communication — with a global perspective shaped by my work in the U.S. and Europe.

Holding a Graduate Certificate in International Education from Florence University of the Arts, I specialize in experiential, place-based teaching that connects students to cultural context through creativity. As a university lecturer, program leader, and teaching artist, I’ve taught digital marketing, theatre marketing, and career planning at institutions including Johns Hopkins University, San Diego State University, and the University of Bologna. My teaching is rooted in mentorship, immersive learning, and a commitment to making the arts more accessible and meaningful.
