I am interested in helping you discover the joy, craft, play, and discipline of the theatre. I aim to guide students to a deeper understanding of themselves and humanity. I believe theatre is a total art, an arena to investigate humanity, and a place to ask the questions no one else is brave enough to ask.
What I value and cultivate as a teacher and artist:
Belonging, Agency, Compassion, Mindfulness, Curiosity, Accountability
