I work with students all week as a voice teacher, and love seeing the "lightbulb" moments when something really connects and a breakthrough is made! I've been working with students for 8 years in large group/classroom settings and in one-on-one environments. I attended Columbus State University and Kennesaw State University, graduating with a degree in Theatre and Performance Studies. But don't let that fool you; I was always a very good student with high grades and excelled in Math, Science, and English. I love continuing to help students grasp the concepts in those subjects, particularly Math! I have a very "Math" brain, so concepts that have always come easily to me may not come easily to everyone, and I love being able to help others get to a comfortable point of understanding something new and not being intimidated!

Teaching voice, I believe, has made me a better overall teacher and tutor. Everyone's voice is different and reacts differently to certain exercises and stimuli, so no two voice lessons are ever the same. A structured "curriculum" doesn't work, and this has also helped me learn how to cater each individual teaching session I have for any subject to each individual student. Some learn better with a visual, some learn better with auditory assistance, some learn better by doing it themselves, the list goes on! I believe I'm very good at adapting to each student's needs every time.

Outside of academia, music and theatre are my big passions! I own and operate my own community theatre company, Mad Artists' Entertainment, and love to compose and play music. I also love to read in my spare time, as well as play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends.
