About Me

I grew up being painfully shy, so when I moved to a new state in the 8th grade (Texas!), I decided to take theatre to hopefully gain more confidence.  Well, it worked!  I've been involved in theatre ever since. 

I went to Baylor University on a nursing scholarship, but once I found out only theatre majors could be in shows . . . I quickly switched degree programs.  I graduated Baylor with a BFA in acting and continued on to graduate school at the Asolo Conservatory at Florida State University.  After a year and a half of grad school, I left to become a flight attendant with Continental Airlines for two years.  I was able to do some amazing travel - and first class!   Then, I decided to go back to school and get my teaching certification.  I attended the University of Houston, minored in English, and earned my teaching certification.  

My first teaching job was teaching 9th grade English and high school theatre at the very high school I had graduated from.  At my first teacher in-service, I met my husband-to-be, a technical theatre teacher at another high school in the same district.  We have been happily married for over 20 years and have 3 fantastic girls.  My husband currently teaches technical theatre at Georgetown High School and also is in charge of their Performing Arts Center.  My eldest daughter is working in Colorado.  My middle daughter is just graduated Trinity University Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Theatre Education is continuing on to earn her masters in education, and my youngest is a fourth grader in Georgetown ISD.

I love teaching theatre, but I also love:  decorating, cooking, gardening, hiking, camping, reading, playing Dungeons & Dragons, watching TV & movies, computer gaming, traveling, & eating delicious food with good friends and family.
