Teaching Artist Residency

Teachers, School Faculty, and Administrators—

Are you looking for a dynamic, research-based approach to literacy instruction that empowers students to become published authors, performers, and creators? Do you want to embed executive functioning strategies, self-regulation, and metacognition into the writing process?

I offer short- and long-term residencies focused on:

  • 📖 Classroom Publications & Student-Authored Books – Whether it’s personal essays, poetry collections, or collaborative storytelling projects, I guide students and educators through the full writing process—from idea to print.

  • 🎭 Remixing Literature into Performance – Want to reimagine a novel, adapt it into a play, or create a student-generated performance as a final project? I help classrooms bring literature to life with full-scale productions, scriptwriting, and immersive storytelling.

  • ✍ SRSD Writing & Process-Based Literacy – I integrate Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) writing techniques into classrooms, helping students develop self-talk, executive function skills, and confidence in their writing.
    💡 Arts Integration in ELA & Beyond – I work with educators to design engaging, interdisciplinary unit plans that weave together literature, writing, theater, music, and visual arts to deepen comprehension, build engagement, and make learning feel real.

  • 👩‍🏫 Teacher Mentorship & Instructional Coaching – As a former instructional coach who has implemented performance and publication-based projects in some of the most challenged schools in NYC, I love partnering with educators to bring rigorous, creative, and transformative teaching into their classrooms.

If you’re interested in custom unit plans, classroom publications, executive function-infused writing instruction, or bringing performance-based literacy projects into your school, I am available as a private vendor to collaborate with you. Let’s bring stories to life, give students a voice, and transform writing into a powerful, healing, and empowering experience.
