I was lucky to find my true calling. Anyone would be.

I love to teach theater.

Though I have a passion for directing student plays and teaching everything from Shakespeare to Clown to Voice, I have a soft spot for intro classes like Acting for Beginners and Theater 101— because there’s nothing more rewarding than watching students who may have signed up for an easy A fall in love with the greatest of all art forms. That transformation is everything to me.
