In my 13th year teaching drama not only do I get to inspire students through art, but hopefully, inspire them to be fabulous humans as well.

I found myself doing a lot of freelance work in afterschool programs and educational theater nonprofits. The students brought such energy, love, and excitement to their work that I knew I wanted to pursue that full-time.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThe very first production that I ever completed with a school as a full-time teacher has to be a stand out moment. The students were taking their bows on stage and audience was full of such appreciation and love, and the students were so joyful and proud. That will stick with me forever.
What would you do with the $25,000?To be honest, him not even sure. Right now I am in the midst of moving from one state to another, so it would probably end up being invested in that move. Of course, as a teacher, it would probably also end up being applied to something for my classroom or the school theater.
