What I’ve been up to since Atrium: After the Atrium, I followed my passion for performance at the Walnut Hill School for Performing Arts and then onto Boston University’s School of Theater. While at BU, I studied abroad at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, where I learned Shakespeare, stage combat, historical dance, Restoration Era Comedy, and, most importantly, the Art of Clowning. After receiving my BFA in Theater Arts, I dove headfirst into the Boston Comedy scene, performing stand-up and improv while teaching and managing the Front of House at ImprovBoston.

Currently: I am currently working at Atrium School! I am a member of the PreK team (with Kristin and Bob) and the After School Program faculty while I pursue my master’s degree in early childhood education. 

Favorite Atrium memories: The giraffes. Scrounge. Being in plays. Singing.

Something that has stuck with me from my Atrium education: I learned to follow my curiosity and to lead with enthusiasm and kindness. I am so happy that Atrium continues to be such a special and vibrant community that allows children to thrive while they explore, play, and learn.
