Fun Facts

Music is my favorite thing! I have a voice degree and play six instruments [poorly]. I taught English and theatre in Korea for nearly three years, during which time I got into SCUBA diving. I'm excited to dive the Caribbean and Central/South America now that I'm back in the Western hemisphere!

About Me

I graduated cum laude from Oklahoma City University with a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre Performance with an overall GPA of 3.5. I was often on the Dean's and President's Honor Rolls, was recognized as a "Fabulous Fifty" Freshman, and was named to the Who's Who of American College Students. I plan to continue performing and perhaps pursue a Master's in Musical Theatre/Vocal Pedagogy.

Experience

During all four years of college, I worked for the English department as a writing/grammar and music theory tutor. Since then, I have taught English conversation, writing, grammar, and reading comprehension to Korean students, as well as theatre, and dance, at kindergarten-high school levels and have tutored college-level ear training. I love making a difference in students' lives and look forward to continuing that work!

Approach

I believe that students perform better when they are engaged in the material, so I seek to make subjects interesting to students. My passion and enthusiasm are my biggest tools to achieve this goal, along with extensive knowledge of my subject areas. Learning and studying should not be stressful situations--I want my students realize a joy for learning that will carry them through their lives!
