I've also written articles for Huffington Post and The Independent on my life as a female chess prodigy in NYC in the 90s which was featured on Writing Class Radio's podcast.
A native New Yorker, I now live in the rural South where I most recently helped socialize donkeys on a writing residency. An excerpt of non-fiction my book-in-process "Checkmating" was published in the anthology (HER)oics: Women's Shared Experiences During The Coronavirus Pandemic.
For information about my chess coaching, go here. A scholastic chess champion, I've taught chess in NYC schools since I was 13, for the last ten years specializing in teaching chess in schools for special needs children. Being recently diagnosed with ADHD myself has only furthered my deep investment in changing the way autism is portrayed in media and entertainment. As a writer, storyteller, and producer, I foster environments and create productions that include neuro diverse casts, creative, and production teams. My work reflects the diverse world we live in in processes that are inclusive of those whose stories are being presented. I'm active in the world of social justice, from arts therapy programming in the recovery and prison community to living in and researching intentional communities, and bringing to light social issues that need to be shared while creating community around that process.
Former Artistic Director of 20,000 square-ft media and performance venue in Long Island City, NYC, The Arc, where I co-facilitated, among other things, the first live 24-hour reading of The Mueller Report which livestreamed worldwide, Elizabeth Warren's infamous 'Break Up The Tech' talk, and organized and produced "Sanctuary" a benefit for detained immigrants using their words.
B.A. in Utopias and Dystopias from NYU/Gallatin. For my thesis, I traveled across the country visiting intentional communities and then had to strip in New Orleans at Big Daddy's to earn my way back (which turned into a book manuscript called The Boho Girls).
MFA in playwriting from Hunter College where I was mentored by Tina Howe, Arthur Kopit, and Samuel D. Hunter.
