My background in professional theater defines my teaching style, but my passion for theater was sparked as a student in high school; theater was both an outlet and an anchor. At Beaver, our Technical Theater program follows a professional model, ensuring that our students get an authentic experience. More importantly, we focus on creative problem solving, freedom of expression, and productive collaboration. I love having the opportunity to work with students to design and execute projects and productions, and seeing them enjoy both a depth of study and creative freedom afforded to few student technicians elsewhere.
