About

I attended a 2 year professional acting conservatory immediately following my high school graduation in 2018. After sucessfully completing the acting conservatory and unravelling the complexities of my artistry in relation to the jobs and opportunities I wanted to cultivate and pursue for myself, I found myself taking a year to work at a local Starbucks, drown myself in essentially endless espresso and rediscover the purity of my love of academia. I found myself in a philosophy class to compliment my 21 year old existential angst, and the rest is history. I've only expanded upon my passions and poetry in such a way that have led me to new security and heights I couldn't have imagined for myself. All of this, AND I've fallen in love, truely, for the first time.. And I inted to keep moving forward with self reflection, acceptance, and great care.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to become a revolutionary educator. I've taught voice, speech, singing, acting, performance, poetry, and writing. I strive to qualify myself enough to teach critical thinking and expansive philosophy.

Outside the classroom

My current job is actually one of my favorite pass times! I host wonderful groups of individuals and share, with them, wines that I am passionate and excited about sharing. I'm an oeniphile, myself, and a L2 Sommelier (L3 soon to come!)
I also imbibe in video games, poetry, music, and singing in my freetime... but somehow those seem less glamourous than my wine hobby. Heehee.
