ABOUT ME
My Work and Experiences
As a secondary education theatre teacher, I am passionate about nurturing the creative potential of young performers. My portfolio highlights the culmination of my work and experiences in guiding students through the transformative world of theatre.
A little about me: I am happily married and a proud mother of two wonderful daughters. In my free time, I enjoy painting, building, reading, and contributing my skills to design projects at other community theatres. Additionally, I am an avid theatre-goer, continually drawing inspiration from the performances I attend when I am not in the classroom.

Fostering Creativity
Theatre is a hands-on, immersive learning experience that empowers students to better understand themselves and the world around them.
“Observing the world around is a
key to teaching acting"
With a deep passion for theatre and education, I am dedicated to creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment where students can explore their creativity and refine their skills. At the heart of my teaching philosophy is a commitment to instilling a lifelong love for the performing arts.
