Additionally, she brings executive-level skills and expertise honed in both the private and non-profit sectors. 

Prior to joining Storycatchers Theatre, Levy served as Chief of Staff for Grow Your Own Illinois (GYO) and Chief Learning Officer for i.c.stars in which she was responsible for monitoring the training program’s quality across multiple cities and ensuring the sustainability of expansion through empowering program teams. In both Chicago-based roles, Levy developed the team’s capacity to design and implement innovative programs that align with best practices and research. Additionally, she was an integral part of ensuring the programs and outcomes matched the goals and purposes of the funding sources, be it governmental or private/donated support.  

“I am humbled by the opportunity to lead Storycatchers Theatre during this next phase,” said Levy.  The mission of Storycatchers resonates with me and I have seen the positive changes that can be made through the arts firsthand.  As a former educator, it was inspiring to see the impact of integrating music and theater in the classroom. It was a life-changing experience for me and my students.  I am excited to continue building on the current framework of this amazing organization with the board and staff members that make up this dedicated team.  I look forward to continuing the work of Storycatchers and inspire positive change through the arts.  

Levy holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Illinois in Chicago, IL, a Master of Arts in Education from National Louis University in Chicago, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL.
