About ME

I am an actor, director, and educator, with experience in both theatre management and education. My aspiration to create and teach theatre stems from a strong desire to tell stories. Everything involves storytelling in some shape or form, and I find purpose and reward through sharing and creating work that engages, challenges, and calls to action its audiences.

My students have been my most influential teachers, and I intend to have a long career in educating future professionals, who will become future colleagues and change-makers in whatever path they pursue.
