- My teaching style is centered on practical application of the material.
- Speech and theater classes teach concepts and techniques, then move directly to students applying what they’ve learned.
-
- Most of my research is in the theatrical world. I read scripts, texts, and on-line forums to stay up-to-date, and perform regularly to stay current in the field.
- Additionally, I attend multiple performances every year from local productions to Broadway.
-
- I have performed in over 80 professional theatrical productions and am rapidly approaching 1,000 separate performances.
- I sing everything from gospel to jazz to musical theater, and am an accomplished juggler.
-
- I enjoy making a personal connection with my students. I can share my experiences and learn about theirs as well.
