MISSION STATEMENT


My desire is to become as well versed as possible in the field of acting, directing, performing and teaching in order to enrich student’s lives to the fullest.  My mission as a teacher is to provide a safe environment, full of respect and trust, where students develop interpersonal skills and problem-solving capabilities through group interaction, artistic collaboration and their own desire to grow in their craft.  I also desire to supply students, through methods such as constructive criticism and evaluation of their performance, with life-long tools that may be used in all aspects of their life.
