What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to combine my passion for education and the arts, fostering creativity in a collaborative environment.

As a dedicated educator and creative leader, I have a proven track record of fostering engaging environments for students and community members alike. My experiences at Broward County Library and Broward Center for the Performing Arts have equipped me with the skills to support children academically while promoting creativity and teamwork. I thrive in collaborative settings, utilizing my strong public speaking and organizational skills to ensure successful events and programs.

My journey in the arts began with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts from the University of South Florida, where I also minored in creative writing. This unique combination has allowed me to explore various forms of storytelling, including novels, song lyrics, and scripts. My passion for voice acting and directing has further honed my abilities as a creative leader, enabling me to inspire others in a safe and respectful community that values creativity and problem-solving.
