I am the Program Specialist for the Innovation Living-Learning Community. In this role, I connect University of Illinois students who are interested in innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship with the wide variety of resources that are available on campus and in the Champaign-Urbana community. I am a former theatre educator with extensive leadership experience the C-U youth theatre community. I also wrote/directed/produced the film Scary Normal (February 2013 release), and co-wrote the screenplay for the film Leading Ladies, which has received honors at film festivals nationally and internationally, including a juried award at the prestigious Sonoma International Film Festival.
