About Me

As a teaching artist, I feel called to share the joys and challenges of practicing art and creativity. I believe that arts education should be available to all and that participating in the arts enhances all aspects of life, regardless of skill level or experience.

With experience in and passion for both theatre and dance, I seek to give students broad experiences in performance, stage management, choreography, directing, dramaturgy, history, and arts administration.

In the five years since graduating with a BA in Theatre Arts with a Dance Minor, I have had the opportunity to teach and mentor students of all ages in a variety of settings—from community education classes to college theatre and dance programs. Pursuing my MA in Theatre and Dance has allowed me to reconnect with myself as a creative artist. In the years to come, I hope to continue to grow in my personal artistry and experiences.

I aspire to teach students of all ages, with a special focus towards college aged students preparing to enter the professional world as well as adults seeking continuing education. Though I was fortunate to begin my theatre education and work as a young person, I did not discover dance until much later. Because of that experience, I learned the value of teaching adult beginners and the great joy, excitement, and dedication that this community has for pursuing art.

In addition to teaching adults, I hope to become a professor at a college or university and teach a variety of theatre and dance courses which fit the interests and skills that I’ve developed, including: beginning level dance courses, theatre and dance history, and stage management.

I have always deeply admired my teachers and their dedication to my education. I aspire to help students feel important, challenged, and supported in their work.
