Theatre Educator
About Me
I was born in Nashville, Tennessee, but have moved around many times over the years, even previously to Houston, and I currently live in Wylie, Texas. I also have a cat that I love but who can drive me crazy at times. The way I like to relax is by reading, baking, and listening to music (I'm always listening to music). I was introduced to theatre in the seventh grade and have loved it ever since. I have always known I wanted to go into teaching, and my love of the theatre made it an easy decision to pursue theatre education. I am excited about my next steps as a theatre teacher!
Teaching Philosophy
My goal as a teacher is to create an environment that is beneficial for students to learn collaboration and grow as students and humans. I want to facilitate a classroom that is open and engages with all aspects of the student’s community and experiences. I plan to provide every opportunity for my students to learn skills applicable on the stage, in their personal lives, and other career paths. I want to also create a safe space for students to be themselves in, without fear of rejection or ridicule. Overall, I would want to leave my students with the knowledge that what they learn in my classroom - both academically and socially - is applicable in every aspect of their lives and that they would be better equipped for their future because of it.
“You have the right and the responsibility to bring to the stage who you are. Your humanity is an absolutely vital contribution to any play you act in.”
