Forced into a role when my high school decided to present "To Kill A Mockingbird", I became addicted to the stage when I received a standing ovation following my first on stage lines. I eventually majored in theatre in college, embraced community theatre, even when it did not return the love for actors of color - began my own community theatre, and continue to teach utilizing drama as therapy for every ailment. I am currently a candidate for my doctorate and am looking for professional credit opportunities.
