Professor
Kutztown, PA
I teach courses in performance studies, media, and popular culture. I am currently taking a TV pilot writing class with Cheri Magid of NYU. I have written feminist fairy tales, short stories, and adapted many novels and short stories for performance. I am interested in learning more about story structure as well as continuing to learn how to write for TV and film.
