Roxanne (she/her) has had a fascination with theatre since 4th grace when she was Wendy in her elementary school’s production of Peter Pan. This continued through high school but she had to take a break in college when her genetics major kept me her Brown’s bio lab till all hours, most nights…

Roxanne went back to community theatre after school and her work in public relations also gave her an outlet for creativity as she wrote, cast, and directed tv and radio commercials and wrote environmental documentaries.

Through her friendship with the Founding Director of Intersections International, she was brought into the world of using Insight methods and the arts to turn a spotlight on social justice issues in a deeply penetrating way. Working with Chuk, Fred, and Vieve to promote this engaging approach in theatre and in school workshops will always be one of her life’s most defining experiences.

Now Roxanne works to assist families with children who are currently homeless or looking to provide greater and lasting economic stability through two wonderful organizations- Family Promise and Circles USA.

In these three areas of life now, she draws hope - a most sustaining force!
