EDUCATION

Playwrights Project is a nonprofit organization devoted to arts education. More than studying scripts and developing characters, there is an emphasis on being a mentor in the program. In which, I guided the students through their own plays and the basics of acting. Our students included elementary to high school students to prisoners in Donovan Correctional Facility.
