About Saluda

Hello! I am a theater teacher and stage actor with years of experience teaching young children acting games and introducing them to the world of Shakespeare. At a private K-12 school I was the Head of Theater where I taught 1st, 2nd, 5th, 8th and high school drama and Shakespeare classes. I was also a paraprofessional, tutoring kids with special needs, including children on the autism spectrum and children with dyslexia. I have taught afternoon drama classes to children as young as 3 years old in Manhattan. I also worked as an assistant teacher in a Montessori school, working with kids aged 2-5. I was a teaching artist in NYC for 8 years and a stage actor there for 15. I am looking for a position where I can continue to use my creativity to inspire kids to learn about storytelling, drama and crafts. I love making puppet theaters! :) I would also be skilled at assisting children with online schooling. I was Valedictorian in high school and graduated Magna Cum Laude from college. :)
