Some of her favorite roles outside of Cirque include guest lecturer at the College of Southern Nevada, advisory panel member for the Stage Craft Institute of Las Vegas, mentor with the USITT Stage Management Mentorship Project, along with a number of events for film, television, and professional sports.
