PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Through over 100 professional development hours, I have learned how to be a better teacher, arts advocate, and human. I have sharpened my skills as a technician and have gained an exponential amount of acting and directing tools through several workshops and mentorship of master teachers and designers.

Being able to witness other artists at work and receiving some of my own teaching and professional work have been some of the most valuable moments.
