I am a youth theatre educator with a passion for creating empathetic connections in theatre.While the bulk of my experience in the theater is as an actor, I also have credits as a director, dramaturg, and sound designer, all of which are departments in which I actively seek freelance work.I have found so much joy in educating children about the craft of acting through both directing and teaching classes. There is no greater excitement I get as their teacher than seeing them perform on that stage.My theatrical background stems from both hands on work in local theaters and academia-based courses at a collegiate level.
Listed skills include Drummer, Microsoft Office, Customer Service, Microsoft Excel, and 7 others.
