As an artist educator, Aimee has developed and facilitated drama programming for schools and communities across Ontario. She is passionate about collaborating with underserved communities to remove barriers to accessing arts education, and some of her favourite facilitation experiences have included working with young people in family shelters and children’s hospitals.

As a theatre artist, Aimee’s practice focuses on theatre for young audiences and immersive and site-specific theatre. She combines these in her work with Single Thread Theatre Company, where she creates immersive theatre experiences for young people which centre them as the heroes of their own stories.

She represents Canada within the ASSITEJ International Inclusive Arts Network, through which she endeavours to connect artists of all abilities in order to share best practices in access and inclusion in theatre for young audiences across Canada.
