Education

After the completion of my undergraduate education, I took a job as the Drama Director at New Albany High School (NAHS), located in a suburb just outside Columbus, Ohio. I have personally designed and written the entire curriculum for this program, including four separate theatre courses and one film course. During my position with NAHS, I have directed twenty-two productions, some of which have received statewide and international recognition. My theatre department has gained national recognition for my innovative Robot Theatre program.
