Hometown:
Miami, Florida

I like working at the Academy because…
I get to work with amazing young actors and performers on some of the world’s classic plays!

Teaching philosophy:
When a child learns something they are learning to wonder, and wonder is never passive, it transforms us. Therefore education is conversion: intellectual, moral, spiritual.

Fun fact:
I’m a huge Mets fan!

When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll most likely find me:
At the movies!

Personal motto:
