I am currently a theatre teacher and director at Conway High School in Conway, SC. My education has served me well in the world of theatre. I Have worked as a professional actress, costume designer, director, prop master, stage manager, wig and makeup supervisor, dresser, costume construction and much more. I love anything that deals with Theatre and especially theatre education. I have directed plenty of musicals and straight plays, and directing is where I feel the most at home. There is no greater feeling than watching your vision come to life in front of a live audience. I have also found a deep love for working with teenagers throughout my time at CHS. I have the ability to connect with them on a different level and their growth and dedication to our work together has solidified my love for them. One of my passions is using theatre as a vehicle for change... the artform lends itself to expressing and investigating many things we cannot do on our own. Theatre is an opportunity to experience something outside of yourself and truly learn other perspectives, ideas and cultures. "Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it."- Augusto Boal
