After teaching in Higher Education for over a decade, I longed for the creative eagerness of younger students. MDS and the IB philosophy have given me the opportunity to combine my love for the arts with my love of learning and teaching to create a strong foundation for my students. There is so much joy to be found in every lesson inside and outside of the classroom and I am thrilled to be a part of an educational community that cultivates such action in learning.

I am a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Asheville with a BA in Drama and Florida Atlantic University with an MFA in Acting. I look forward to the many experiences to be shared with the students and staff at MDS!
