As a visiting lecturer in the Drama Department at the University of Huddersfield, I worked with students to devise ensemble spoken word performances. I taught first-year drama courses in the Department of Theatre and Film at the University of Winnipeg. I have coordinated outreach and education programming for the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield, and the Aboriginal Arts Training and Mentorship Programme at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People in Canada.
