Ages I Work With


Bio

I am a mother of 4 daughters.  This August I will be married for 19 years!  I have been involved in theatrics of some sort my whole life.  I was a youth group leader for four years, a children's pastor for 13 years.  In each of these groups it was my duty to teach the kids to perform before the church.  I now teach at a charter school teaching k-8th grade theatre and one-on-one tutoring for at-risk kids.  I am also homeschooling my oldest daughter, she is 16 yrs old, she is a musician and therefore travels and misses alot of school and it was just better for us to homeschool.


Educational Background

I have an associates degree in education/theatre. I have attended many teaching workshops for both teaching in the public school and within the church
