About Me

 

I work at the intersection of education, culture, and program leadership.

Over the past two decades, I have designed and led complex creative and educational initiatives across higher education, nonprofit, and cultural institutions in the U.S. and Israel. My work centers on building programs, cultivating talent, and translating vision into sustainable practice - whether in classrooms, artistic institutions, or mission-driven organizations.

​

I began my career as a theater director, collaborating with repertory companies, festivals, and training programs across classical and contemporary work. Over time, my focus expanded beyond production into leadership roles that involved building teams, mentoring emerging leaders, developing curricula, and shaping institutional strategy.

​

As an educator, I served as Assistant Professor of Theater at Amherst College, where I designed and led courses in acting, devising, and theater history, directed mainstage productions, and played an active role in departmental leadership and student recruitment. In Israel, I taught at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, founded and led a national training program for directors at Tzavta Theater, and served as Artistic Director and Chief Producer of major cultural festivals.

​

More recently, I founded Theater.Academy, an online education platform offering on-demand learning for performers and educators. The project allowed me to build a scalable educational venture from the ground up, spanning curriculum design, content production, partnerships, and digital program operations. It has been used by more than 60 universities across the U.S.

Across artistic, educational, and leadership contexts, I am drawn to questions of how people learn, how institutions shape identity, and how creative practice can be used to cultivate both individual growth and collective responsibility.

I hold an MFA in Theater Directing from Yale University and a BA (magna cum laude) in Theater Directing from Tel Aviv University.
