With a strong foundation in both theatre and English education, I bring a diverse and dynamic teaching style to the classroom, shaped by years of experience working with students aged 4 to 18. My teaching practice emphasizes creativity, communication, and confidence-building, drawing on my extensive background in acting, speech, and movement. I have had the privilege of working with a variety of professional organizations, including Kentucky Shakespeare, Lexington Children’s Theatre, and Eastside Middle School, where I’ve helped young performers develop their craft through hands-on, performance-based learning.
My academic background includes an English teaching emphasis through the University of Louisville’s Education Pathway, equipping me with the tools to effectively blend literature and language instruction with theatrical exploration. This dual focus allows me to engage students not only in understanding texts but also in expressing them with clarity and emotional depth. Whether in a traditional classroom or on the stage, my goal is to create an inclusive, energetic learning environment where students are encouraged to explore, perform, and grow as both artists and communicators.
