I have been thinking so much about how I would post this or when I would post this but no words could possibly quite explain it. I have spent 4 years in this room. 4 years. That’s a long time. The school year has come to an end but it’s different this time. This year I cleaned and packed up this room of mine for the last time. Just over a month ago I found that my full time position as theatre and TV is being eliminated. I was heartbroken. Once I released that heartbreak I almost felt free. Free to consider a million possibilities. I had made this little room a second home for myself and the girls that spent their time in it. I will forever be so filled with gratitude for the 4 years, the tears, the laughter and for the growth that took place in this little room of mine.

So grateful for the amazing Alta Theatre Council team from this 2018-2019 school year... they created incredible activities, a safe place for their peers, and conquered their goals. They made my work easier and more fun, and they made life simply better. I cannot say how amazing these kids are or how much I genuinely love & appreciate them. Thanks Hawks for a phenomenal year- here’s to many more to come! #theatreteacher #ilovemyjob #mystudentsarethebest #thankful #dramaclub #lifeisbeautiful #altahawks
Dear Mommas,
Don't be afraid of going to school or and going back to school. Let the babies see the struggle, see the late night study, praying, crying and the determination to not give up when things get hard. Plant a seed of possibilities and watch it grow into something amazing. This has been a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!
Happy Mother's Day!!!! #regentgrad19 #regentuniversity #theatreteacher #mothersday #mothersdaygifts #gradschool #royal #blackgraduates #masters #goddidit #thankful

Still pushed through despite the false arrest from the LA Sheriffs Dept. That experience empowered me to be the artist/educator I am today. Helping youth free their voice with Shakespeare.
Commercialism and trying to be famous is getting played out. This is the era of geniune, authentic storytelling.
The major markets (LA, NYC, ATL, Chicago, UK) owe us nothing. How can you use your skills, art, and training to make a difference? In what ways can you contribute?
How do you serve?

The face of a woman who is struggling with the concept of “balance” when we are two weeks from opening, and there are 13 one-act plays in rehearsal. Sometimes that means 14-hour days and weekends at school and skipping meals or being on a diet of caffeine. I’m averaging 80 emails a day. So a shout-out to all of the parents who act as solid and constant support to their kids’ teachers: volunteering hours, skills, and words of encouragement, and sometimes even feeding us. You are the real MVPs. Being a Fine Arts teacher is an act of love, and I love and respect all of my colleagues who give so much to the craft. The secret is that it is beyond worth it. Despite the dehydration, smeared mascara, derpy face, scattered brain and overall exhaustion, I wouldn’t trade working with these brilliant and eager young artists for anything in the world. Not even Disneyland.

It’s #worldtheatreday , which means I’m legally required to post pictures of me loving my job teaching my lil theater dorks, and also brag about all the cool stuff I’m allowed to make now. Here’s to creation! Maybe this year I’ll get to work with adults, too #theatreteacher #actingclass #improvclass #lookatmybabies #setpainting

Coaching students on auditioning and etiquette today. Building their confidence. Strengthening their voice. Connecting them with their text. Gotta train 'em early.
What techniques/strategies do you have to prep students for speeches, auditions, interviews major tests, etc.? Feel free to share below!
