DIRECTING: My newest love in the theatre arts. I direct theatre productions for both professional and university theatres. I believe in the value of a full, company-collaborated production style focusing on the need to deepen knowledge and create an experience that will spark action and conversation that can be carried out of the theatre and into the world.

EDUCATION: I love education. Love it! I am full-time Performance Area Faculty at Northern Illinois University where I also serve the School as Head of BFA Acting Recruitment. I also serve as Rotating Voice and Movement Faculty at the renowned Gately-Poole Acting Conservatory. In classes, I aim to create an environment where students can think and explore outside of what society deems "normal" to challenge their own humanity. When I am not in classes at these institutions, I hold private studio for: scene work, monologue work, voice and speech, and movement for the actor.
