EDUCATION
Theatre and arts education is vital for young people, and I am passionate about ensuring the next generation has a love for the theatre. With a focus in directing, playwriting, audition technique, and text and language, I work with students in grades 3rd-12th.
DIRECTING
I have a passion for textually rich and vibrant plays. From re-examinations of beloved classics to world premieres, I dive into the world of the play to create a conversation on stage.
DRAMATURGY
From informational packets to audience engagement, I have a love of diving into the text of the piece to help peel back layers for clarity and discovery.
