PHILOSOPHY
“I view theater as a change agent, an interactive experience between artists and audiences that teaches us to laugh, heal, and grow. In its greatest form, theater leaves a lasting impact and breeds a culture of empaths. My process is rooted in cultivating empathy through confidence building and communication. Through the Actor’s Toolbox we use our bodies, voices, and imaginations to tell a story.”
