My Journey:

as a Director, began with me working on stage as a stage manager, designer, and technician. Taking every opportunity to be in the room where it happens allowed me to study how working professional directors were doing what I wanted to do.  Those experiences are the bedrock of my practice and process and have afforded me the opportunity to work with actors, playwrights, designers, and technicians alike.  And I have found that leading a cast, a design team, a tech crew, and an audience to truthful storytelling is the most exciting and fulfilling thing I can do on or off the stage.

as an Educator, began with mentorship of the highest caliber.  I took a non traditional path to my education and enjoyed the opportunity to experience many disciplines within the theatre world.  I have been afforded the opportunity to teach workshops in various areas including Directing, Audition Techniques, Movement, and Design.  As an Instructor of Record for the Communications Department at the University of Idaho, I regularly fold in my theatre training and experiences into my classroom in an effort to raise engagement and often include some of the Catherine Fitzmaurice Voice-Work to help with communication apprehension.
