She taught middle school theatre in Arizona (2006-2008), and then in Fairfax County at Whitman Middle School (2008-2011).Ms. Murray spent the last decade co-running a nonprofit dance organization in Alexandria (Local Motion Project). There she taught dance, trained teachers, co-directed a multi-generational dance ensemble (LMP Collective), developed and facilitated professional development for the Kennedy Center's Changing Education Through the Arts Program, collaborated with the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
