Professional Philosophy and Goals
Work each day to shape lives through theatre education by: Instilling and fostering a general knowledge and respect for theatre arts, expanding student perspective on life through in-class reflection and introspection, and by providing various opportunities for students to engage and relate with their peers in supportive and collabortive means. Furthermore, it is my goal while I am an educator in Hoover, AL to be an advocate for fine arts education; influencing public opinion that theatre education is essential and builds life skills essential to success.
