Bio

As one of ArtistYear’s Philadelphia Program Managers, Matt supports our talented RTAs during their service year and works closely with partner schools citywide.

Previously Matt served two years with AmeriCorps— one with City Year and the other with ArtistYear— working across many different classrooms and artistic mediums at Olney Elementary in North Philly. They continued this work in arts education through freelance tutoring and a variety of roles at Fleisher Art Memorial before returning to ArtistYear.

Matt has developed curricula and led workshops on creative writing, film history, and screenwriting. They received their B.A. in Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in 2018. In 2024 they graduated with distinction from the University of London at Birkbeck College with an MA in Screenwriting.

In their stories, Matt explores themes of identity and generational trauma across an array of genres. You can find some of their work in local publications such as MovieJawn and Dog Bowl Zines. They always have a book, comic, or zine on hand, ready to pass along to the next reader!

Arts. Community. Transformation.
