Resume

Martha originally trained as a secondary school drama and theatre studies teacher and taught in a school in London for a year, and directed multiple musicals and plays in Melbourne. She knew she had to move into special education when she facilitated drama activities with people with diverse needs on a camp. She was blown away by the depth of emotional knowledge and expression shown by people with disabilities.

Martha became a classroom teacher in a special needs school and taught for 5 years while studying a masters of special education. In her teaching practice she loves to design learning around the individual, cater environments to suit all needs and provide opportunities for individuals to be themselves, thrive, and develop a love of learning.

Martha is so excited to combine her passions of special education teaching and performance in AP studio’s new special needs screen and stage acting classes!
