Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm originally from New Rochelle, New York! I graduated from The New School University in NYC, where I majored in Literary Studies and writing. Since then I've traveled around to lots of places, lived abroad and held all sorts of weird jobs (from dog walker to farmer to teacher). I most recently left a job in central/northern Thailand where I was teaching English for 2 years. Now I'm back to being a student at HGSE, where I'm focusing on the Arts in Education. I love teaching and learning, and I'm excited to participate in Splash and hope that my students gain something from this Dream Interpretation experience.

X9823: Dream Interpretation in Splash 2015 (Nov. 21 - 22, 2015)
Have you ever woken up, heart racing in a cold sweat, and wondered, "what was that all about?" Have you ever had a dream so good you wish you could go back to sleep, to continue right where you left off (or woke up)? We'll be learning about the foundations and current understandings of dreams in our culture and in our lives. We'll use design thinking, art-making, storytelling, or other activities (based on the participants' comfort) to explore the images and symbols in our dreams. Dreams can be enlightening, horrifying, mystifying or confusing: this is a chance to learn, create, and relate to yourself and to others through the interpretation of dreams.
