WELCOME!
I am a theatre educator who uses the arts as a medium for cultural awareness and inclusion.
The places I've been and the people I've met have shaped me into the educator I am.
Bromley East Charter School
In the fall following my master's graduation, my family moved to Colorado, where I was hired to teach 6th through 8th grade theatre. Our school year was broken into trimesters, where I taught all 7th graders, 6th graders, and 8th graders. ​
​
My seventh graders explored experiential theatre and crafted immersive experiences for elementary students at our school.​
​
My sixth graders wrote original play adaptations based on "The Day the Crayons Quit," where they asked themselves, "What would happen if the Crayons went on other adventures." ​
​
My eighth graders studied design careers and presented a Recycled Fashion Show, applied old-age theatrical makeup, and created scenic design models based on emotions.
Bentonville Public Schools
I have taught in Bentonville Public Schools for 2 years as a junior high theatre and forensics teacher at Grimsley Junior High.
​
I have grown my theatre department through the use of collaborative production experiences with Lincoln Junior High through our spring musical.
​
I have championed my competitive speech and debate team and grown the program from 5 to 22 students in one year. My students have earned first-place trophies in Original Oratory, Informative Speaking, Declamation, Big Questions Debate, Poetry Interp., Prose Interp., Dramatic Interp., Duo Interp., and Program Oral Interp.
​
I created a curriculum guide and common formative assessments for Intro to Theatre that was implemented during the 2024-25 school year.
Graduate Student Internships
While studying for my Master's in Teaching, I completed two semester-long internships at Siloam Springs High School and Har-Ber High School.
​
At SSHS, I taught two sections of Theatre I, Technical Theatre II, and one section of Theatre II/III. Here, I created units based on collaborative storytelling, theatrical analysis, and original script writing. My students created emotional response collages and theatrical paperwork based chosen stories.
​
At HBHS, I taught two sections of Theatre I, one section of Theatre II, one section of Theatre III&IV, and one section of Advanced Technical Theatre. I was also the costume designer for Har-Ber High School's production of Willy Wonka.
