About Me: I have been lucky enough to have two passions in my life; theatre and teaching. After earning my degree, I moved to New York City to pursue an acting career. While there, I also discovered my love of teaching. Since moving to Seattle, I have worked as a PreK teacher at a small independent school and, now, as a TA at the Evergreen School. I enjoy teaching children so much that I am also currently enrolled at Seattle Pacific University to earn my Master’s in Teaching and receive state certification.
