Ages I Work With


Bio

I am a one woman theatre department at a fairly large school (2300 students) in a large district (4 hight schools).  Received my certification through the alternative routes, therefore had to learn by doing, and I'm still not always sure I am doing things right....


Educational Background

I received my bachelor's degree in a roundabout way. I started in 1986, and finished in 2002. I went through an alternative teaching certificate program to become certified to teach, but it didn't cover anything regarding my content. I am currently enrolled in a Masters program through the University of Houston specially designed for Theatre educators to receive their MA in Theatre during the summers only. I have 2 more portfolios and 1 more summer of classes to finish...yay!

I love to act and feel that in my teaching, acting is my strength. I act locally when time and opportunity permit. I am very active in my church, I sing in the choir and only recently began a new Drama Ministry.
