Your Favorite Reading and Writing Mentor

I have a degree in Secondary Education as well as English Language Arts. With these degrees I was a High School English Language arts teacher for 5 years. I have always been an avid reader and writer and found it such a privilege to share that love and knowledge with my students. I am no longer a part of the public education system, however, that love and desire to impact students is still my purpose and my passion. When I was in Middle School and High School I was conflicted between loving reading and writing when I was at home, yet, deeply disliking my ELA classes. Seriously...it was my least favorite subject but one of my favorite hobbies. In school ELA seemed so boring and completely irrelevant to my daily life or, honestly the world in general. Yet, when I read for myself, I was transported into the worlds that the authors created. I felt as if, for a brief moment, I was living another life. Then in the times when my head felt too full and I needed to vent, but not to a person, I wrote, and it gave me such a feeling of power and release. I was so confused how I could dislike something so much in school when I loved it so much personally. When I became a teacher, I realized the answer. Reading and writing are such a personal thing yet, they are often taught as if they aren't. Often students are given instructions such as, "read quietly" or "write a 5-sentence response"... with no reason. Where is the exploration in that? Where is the self-expression? Often times students need a different approach than what you typically see to thrive in their reading and writing skills. They need one-on-one attention and someone who will explore the beauty and true power of the written and spoken word. That is my goal, to offer a different approach and help my students reach their full potential. Learning should be fun; growth should happen naturally through exploration and understand. You'd be shocked at the incredible results this approach yields.

Your new confidence mentor for anything acting, writing, and singing

I have completed two degrees in performance. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theater where I completed the Performance Trak as well as the Stage Management Track at my undergrad, Wesleyan College. I have a Master of Fine Arts in Performing Arts from The Savannah College of Art and Design, where we mainly trained in acting for Film and TV, and I also trained in vocal performance. Acting is my forte, but my experience in musical theater productions, vocal training, and passion for music gives me the ability to also teach singing (mainly for younger children and beginning adults who want to find their voices). I've continued my own vocal training even after my MFA graduation in 2020 with the Nikki Maas Music studio, where we specialize in belting training for musical theater as well as pop-style music. I've been acting professionally since graduation- anywhere from extra work on TV shows/films in the Atlanta area, from regional theatrical productions to commercials, to indie films. I'm well versed in audition technique (because it is a SKILL that needs to be taught and developed, but it is not covered in the acting curriculum as much as it should be), how to record and create self-tapes, how to build your resume, and how to build your brand and network. I'm very passionate about performance, and I love teaching people who want to pursue the same passion as me. I have experience teaching the ages of around 5-6 years all the way up to high school age, as I was a mentor and counselor at a performing arts summer camp for 4-5 years in Atlanta, GA. I love teaching kids, but I'm open to teaching adults as well.
