A Bit About Me
Hi! I grew up in Alexandria, Virginia, and I'm a theatre education major. This is my second year here at ODU, and I love it. I have one younger sister and one younger brother. I absolutely adore the arts and theatre, in fact, I currently work as the Director of Audience Development for ODU's theatre department, doing advertisement and publicity. If I were not to be a theatre teacher, I would go into special education. My brother was born with cerebral palsy; I have a great deal of love and patience for anyone who struggles with any handicap.

My Philosophy of Education
Disclaimer: This is all my opinion, though I might state it as a fact.

Education is the basis of life as we know it. One can't speak a word without saying something that they have learned, not even their name. Education, as humans themselves, evolves. Education used to be about repetition and memorization, and it has slowly branched out to be learning by doing as well as learning by analysis. The growth of education is essential for the growth of life. It is not just the memorization of benchmarks (which as been the death of education), but also the understanding of how those benchmarks connect and build off of one another.
