Davies received her Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Boston Conservatory, and her Masters' of Fine Arts in acting from Brandeis University. She then made her living for many years as a actress, director, and producer, including a national tour with the Missoula Children's Theatre. Drawing both on her background in theatre and on her experience working with adults and children with autism, she has developed a fun, easy to follow, step-by-step drama curriculum specifically for parents and professionals without backgrounds in acting.
