CLASSROOM PHILOSOPHY
I believe in putting experience back into the classroom. After working for the Walt Disney World Company, I have fully realized that learning should not strictly reside from bell to bell, but extend to life outside of school. I strive to set my students up for success by nurturing their creativity, pushing them beyond their preconceived notions of what Theatre is, and help apply what they learn to the real world. Theatre is more than acting and pretending, it is a form of communication. If everyone could simply communicate across biased notions, and misinformed thoughts of how other people live in different cultures and countries, we would be in a better place as a human race. This is my calling.
