I am a dedicated educator committed to delivering impactful theatre experiences that educate and inspire young people and their communities. Through my work, I create authentic performances that foster growth and understanding in the classroom, on the stage, and within the community.
Student Testimonials, Rehearsals, and Show Clips
My students share their heartfelt experiences, revealing the progress of their artistic journeys. Each testimonial resonates with emotion as they describe their growth and their powerful transformation through collaboration and creativity.
Many have spoken of the initial hesitations they felt stepping into the studio, only to find themselves enveloped in an environment that fosters trust, support, and a deep love for the art. Their words are filled with gratitude as they recount overcoming self-doubt and discovering their unique voices.
These shared moments of triumph celebrate individual journeys and highlight the beautiful connections formed within our artistic family. Each experience is a testament to the power of collaboration and mentorship, and it fills my heart to witness their evolution into the artists they've always dreamed of becoming.
During the pandemic shutdown, Walnut Street Theatre asked us to share our personal story to share with subscribers. Five years later, it represents why I love the theatre community and how it can transform lives.
