Kirsten has been teaching theatre since 2010. She first taught at Valley Jr High then Granger High School (West Valley, Ut) and now she is super excited to be teaching Vista Heights Middle School in Saratoga Springs! Teaching Theatre has been her dream since she was 10 years old. Not only did she act throughout her school career, but she also performed with a community youth theatre until she was 18. After she graduated high school she also taught at that community youth theatre for 3 years.She graduated from BYU with a BA in Theatre Education in 2010. Kirsten lives in Saratoga Springs and is excited to give back to her own community. Kirsten has coached many students and has won multiple awards at the Shakespeare Competition and Utah region and state theatre Competitions. Kirsten has produced and directed over 25 productions and loves to see all her students see the success of hard work. "Theatre teaches so many remarkable skills and working one on one with a student brings me so much joy. There is nothing better than seeing a student break down walls, grow as a person and see themselves improving. That is what brings me joy everyday and why I love my job so much!"
