Residency Project

I hope to be able to bring a passion for Shakespeare to young students. Through paraphrasing and workshopping Shakespearean plays, I would intend to help students understand context and history of the themes of Shakespeare’s works to instill a better understanding of his stories and his effects on language today.

Teaching Experience

I have worked summer theatre camps as well as worked on shows that include juvenile cast members including: Wizard of Oz, The Miracle Worker, Diary of Anne Frank
