Molding Top-Notch Professionals
"I choose UNCG because of the beautiful campus and the amazing theatre department. The amount of preparation and hands-on work with students, along with the community of teachers that is created through the program, are the keys to my success as a student and future teacher."
A Passion for Learning
"I have always known that I wanted to teach, and I have a great passion for theatre. I feel that arts education is one of the most crucial components of K -12 education because it allows students to use their imagination, express themselves, build relationships, and grow in self-confidence. I look forward to creating this environment in my classroom."
Inspired to Teach
"My inspiration for becoming a teacher comes from my stuffed animals that I taught as a child and the teachers who impacted my life in both positive and negative ways."
