​Recent innovations in teaching methods:  
1.      Designed one of the first in the country higher education courses in Consent and Intimacy, adapting and creating extensive class materials and exercises.
 2.      Developed new exercises to scaffold Consent and Intimacy Practices for undergraduate and/or less experienced actors, then shared this practical teaching research and resources with other theatre educators at ATHE (Association for Theatre in Higher Education).
 3.      Refocused Fundamentals of Directing to create an anti-racist, less hierarchical practice and encourage empathy with marginalized characters, then shared this practical teaching research with other theatre educators at ATHE (Association for Theatre in Higher Education). 
4.       Developed new, scaffolded techniques and exercises for Fundamentals of Acting students based around Constantine Stanislavsky’s last rehearsal practice of Active Analysis, which I will be sharing as a workshop at the upcoming international Stanislavsky Symposium in Prague.
