Donovan specializes in acting and playwriting residencies for students K-12, and she most values trauma-informed training practices, empowering students of color and ESL learners, and providing her students with the life skills necessary to thrive and be the most optimal versions of themselves.
Her teaching artistry has brought her into contact with incredibly diverse communities of students in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, North Carolina, New York, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and Canada. Whenever Donovan is in the classroom, there’s a huge focus on positive affirmation, learning about perspectives outside of our own, the power of laughter, creative problem-solving and critical-thinking, and above all else, having FUN. As the wise saying goes, “it’s called a PLAY for a reason!”
Donovan also does DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) consultations for universities, individuals, and organizations. Interested? Check out the Contact page!
