She has been teaching "ShakesPlay" using her active methods since 2012 and has been a guest artist at many Chicago area high schools and colleges, as well as a private coach. Most recently, she was invited as a guest artist to the Stratford Festival in Ontario, Canada, to help their acting company unlock ways to teach Shakespeare to schools in their area.
