Before joining mmhmm, she was Assistant Professor of Performance in the Department of Performing and Media Arts at Cornell University where she taught directing, acting, voice & speech, contemporary international theatre and drama in translation. Previously, she was Founding Director of the Program in Speaking and Learning at the Derek Bok Center for Teaching at Harvard University.
As a theatre artist and translator, she co-edited the anthology Tahrir Tales: Plays from the Egyptian Revolution (Seagull Books) and is currently working on an anthology of contemporary Palestinian drama in translation.
She has received grants and commissions from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Fulbright Scholar Program, the Doris Duke Foundation Building Bridges Program, the Mellon Foundation’s TCG Global Connections award, the Radcliffe Institute, the Huntington Playwriting Fellows, the Einaudi Center for International Studies, the Catalyst Collaborative @ M.I.T., the Foundation for Jewish Culture, and the Middle Eastern Theater Project.
She has directed productions and workshops at the Huntington Theatre Company, the American Repertory Theater, PEN America World Voices Festival, Golden Thread Theatre, the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University, Vanderbilt University, Cornell University, and Rose Bruford College. As a voice, speech and dialect specialist, she has coached on Broadway, in regional theatres and consulted for film and television.
As Artistic Director of the video communication software company mmhmm, she leads the experimental arm of the company. She collaborates with product, design, marketing, sales, and community to research and implement a wholistic vision for mmhmm as a radical new medium of communication for the distributed world of work. She looks for ways to integrate the core elements of compelling communication: storytelling, interaction, visual engagement, and captivating delivery within augmented virtual ecosystems. Her goal is to make mmhmm-mediated events intuitively and seamlessly theatrical, dialogic, communal, and versatile.
She has been a communication & performance consultant for actors, politicians, executives, religious leaders, artists, academics, educators, and anyone for whom public speaking plays a key vocational role.
She earned her BA in Drama and Theatre Arts from Columbia University, an MFA in acting from the Moscow Art Theatre School, and Graduate Certificate in Advanced Theatre Training from Harvard. She also has a certified in Voice and Speech Pedagogy by the Fitzmaurice Institute.
