It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the new drama teacher at Ballard High school. I studied playwriting at Macalester college and the National Theatre Institute and completed a master’s in teaching at Seattle University this spring. I came to theatre education to uplift anti-racist work and center student identity, and I am so excited to bring this work to Ballard High School. My training is based in the work of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed and of my mentor, Eliza Rasheed. My priority is building a space where students learn to listen, both to their community members and to themselves. I feel honored to be welcomed into the Ballard Performing Arts family and look forward to growing with this community. ~ Ms. Miller

Biography

I am in my 15th+ year of teaching Mathematics and in my 5th+ year of teaching at Seattle Public Schools. Previously I taught in my home state of Michigan before moving to Seattle in 2011. I think Math education is important for all as it teaches us to problem solve and allows us to predict the future through modeling. When I'm not at Ballard High School I enjoy biking around the city of Seattle and hiking in the Cascades and the Olympics.
