Eve has spent over 20 years in the NYC performing arts and arts education sectors, working in fundraising, programs, and administration and serving seven years on the Board of Directors of the NYC Arts in Education Roundtable.
Eve first joined Dancing Classrooms as Deputy Director in February 2020, and spearheaded the transformation of programming in the early days of the pandemic, including the creation of our virtual and hybrid Dancing Classrooms: Homeroom Edition, helping to ensure thousands of students continued to receive the benefits of social dance, even during times of isolation. As Deputy Director, she oversaw the formation of multiple strategic partnerships and the expansion of programs to include after-school, summer, and K-3rd grade.
Before joining Dancing Classrooms, Eve worked at leading NYC arts and culture fundraising consulting firm, Advance NYC, as a Senior Project Director. There, she supported nonprofit clients, including ArtsConnection, Harmony Program, Hi-Arts, the Louis Armstrong House Museum, Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and SBI / A. Philip Randolph High School. Before joining Advance NYC, Eve spent years in the NYC performing arts and arts education sectors, including serving as the Director of Programming at Young Audiences New York. She recently ended her second term as a member of the Board of Directors of the NYC Arts in Education Roundtable, where she continues to serve on its Development Committee. In addition, Eve previously served as a member of the School Leadership Team at early elementary school PS 242 in Queens and on the National Guild for Community Arts Education’s members council.
Eve currently volunteers her time with Science Olympiad, Scouts, choir, and other activities at her children’s schools and community, where her baking skills, choral singing, and expertise in fundraising and face painting are in high demand. Eve holds a BFA in Drama from the Playwrights Horizons Theater School at Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership & Management from Leadership Fellows New York at Baruch College. She was a proud NYU Martin Luther King Jr. Scholar and spent years utilizing her stage management, performance, and educational skills to volunteer in community and arts programs around the globe, including in Brazil, Ghana, Ireland, and across the US. With a deep family legacy of valuing access and inclusion through art and education—her mother a music teacher and school administrator, and her grandmothers a music teacher and an English and Art teacher who graduated from the HBCU Stowe Teachers College—Eve holds a profound belief in the power of art and education to shape individuals and strengthen our communities for the collective good. Having grown up primarily in NYC, where she was an avid young dancer and performer (including studying under Ellen Robbins at Dance Theatre Workshop for over a decade), Eve is passionate about bringing the joy and freedom that can be found in the arts to each young person’s educational experience.
