Teacher

Years of experience with Girl Scouts, assisting my teacher mother, and chairing clubs culminated in what was probably, by then, inevitable. After getting my degree, I became a teacher. I have taught students in several theatrical shops, in addition to the classroom.

I have taught playwriting, theatrical design, theatrical construction, script analysis, and theatrical history to college students, high-schoolers, and middle-schoolers.

In the years I spent at Francis Parker, I built the technical theater program and curriculum. This involved creating year and trimester long classes for different age and experience levels. I created lesson plans, worksheets, powerpoints, assignments, quizzes, tests, flashcards, and projects for these classes.

Recently, I have been teaching English as a Second Language to Chinese elementary aged students through VIPKid. Though this position does not involve curriculum development, it does showcase my ability to use a digital classroom and teach online.
