Theatre Education as a medium for Political Activism

I believe anyone can be funny. I take pride in the fact that I learned how to be funny. With practice, observation, and confidence- I developed a sense of humor. Comedy is for everyone. 

I began as my high school improv club president not because I was the funniest member, but because I also happened to be class president at the time. From a young age I wanted to create spaces where people could come explore, imagine, and laugh together. 

I am still pursuing this dream.

In my pursuit of my dreams, I found Teaching Artistry. I am currently the Student Admin Worker of the Creative Root outreach educational program at Depaul University and their summer camp manager; I also create the Creative Root marketing. Throughout the school year I am a teaching artist with the program in CPS schools around the city. 

Each fall, I am also an advisory mentor for incoming freshman while also teaching and designing curriculum for classes which assist students into their transition of college. 

Every class of mine centers ritual, confidence, and community as our primary goals.
