As a student, I was fortunate to attend schools where I felt challenged, supported, and encouraged, and I have always loved learning and being in a classroom.  I have also always loved theatre, from making up plays as a child to acting in numerous productions in college.  But I discovered that I loved teaching theatre entirely by accident, when I accepted a position via a former teacher and colleague to teach theatre at a school in Switzerland.

That decision, to not only move to a foreign country but also to try teaching, has changed the scope of my life since.  I’ve been fortunate to travel to many different places and teach in many different environments – from Newton to New York City, and from Switzerland to India.  What I love most about teaching theatre, aside from how much fun I have every day, is that I have the opportunity to see my students grow more confident and self-assured, more open-minded and collaborative, and more appreciative of diverse backgrounds and views.
