Hobbies
While I operate as both an actor and a writer, I consider the academic and the artistic perfectly married in the works of Shakespeare. My heart beats in iambic pentameter and my own educational goals regarding my understanding and expertise of the Bard are the flint in my heartfire. As a writer, I have written over a dozen short stories, am in the process of two novels, and a continual enthusiast of discovering the key to the perfect essay. I want very much to communicate in the clearest, easiest way possible what many people have had trouble with: the classics. Whether that be Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms" to Hamlet himself, I want students to experience an ignited passion for all the classical works available to them, from B.C. to A.D. to modern day. :) Hobbies include photography, singing, writing (both music and otherwise), reading and continuing in my life's mission to see every Van Gogh work in real life! :)
