Teaching style
My teaching style is rooted in creativity, structure, and student engagement. I believe theatre education should be active and hands-on, giving students the chance to explore, create, and take ownership of their learning. My lessons balance rigor with fun—making challenging concepts approachable through movement, design, storytelling, and collaboration. I emphasize growth mindset and positive self-talk, encouraging students to build confidence both on and off the stage. Every resource I create is designed to simplify planning for teachers while sparking curiosity, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences for students.
