She is currently working with Girls on the Run Memphis as their Program Manager and with Playhouse on the Square in Memphis as their Director of New Works. As Director of New Works, she spearheads the NewWorks@TheWorks program at Playhouse, which leads to the world premiere productions of two new plays every year.
