She is also a writer and producer, having created multiple independent film projects including Rock Story, which received the Best Writing Award at the Northeast Film Festival.

She has directed over 60 theatrical productions and has held leadership roles including Artistic Director and Director of Arts Education for several regional theatre organizations.
