Teaching Artist
I believe that teaching is one of the most beautiful and sacred acts an artist can perform. My teaching focuses on developing theatrical and practical skills, along with developing healthy and positive mindsets in a welcoming, inclusive, and passionate environment.
ASC Theatre Camp 2024
In the Summer of 2024 I served as the Team Fight Captain for the American Shakespeare Center's month long sleep away theatre camp. During this time I helped organize and schedule daily camp activities, each workshops on stage combat and puppetry, choreograph the stage combat for both full productions of Troilus and Cressida and Comedy of Errors, direct and coordinate the Showcase Performance, and overall keeping track of campers and ensuring they were healthy and happy
ASC Theatre Camp 2025
Over the course of two months, I worked with 49 different students across four different four scale productions. I choreographed all the stage combat and movement for Henry VI Pt.1, Pt. 2, Pt. 3, and Richard III.
Teaching Focus: Stage Combat
I teach Stage combat from a storytelling, safety focused mindset. By understanding the context of the combat in the story we are trying to tell, I can work with actors from where their are in their stage combat journey to break a moment of combat down phrase by phrase. By meeting actors at their experience level, I can use my knowledge and experience to work with them to craft a compelling, character-driven moment of combat.
Collegiate Teaching: ENG102K,
Composition
I was overjoyed to teach my first college class in Fall of 2025. I taught Composition at Mary Baldwin University, a class that is required for all incoming Freshmen at MBU. In this class I taught students how to properly use MLA Format, structure an essay, research and build an argument, different argumentative appeals, and other important skills that they can take forward into their collegiate careers.
