I am so happy to be teaching theatre at THE Kyrene Middle School.  I have been in the Kyrene District for 12 years, both at Kyrene de la Mirada Leadership Academy, and 6 years at KMS.  

I grew up in Pleasant Hill, MO, and began performing at the age of 4.  I am a graduate of Missouri Valley College where I earned my Bachelor's in Theatre.  I also attended AMDA, The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC, where I earned my post graduate degree in Musical Theatre.

My husband, Andy, works for Tempe Union High School District and my son attended KMS, graduated from Marcos de Niza and is attending Hofstra University in August '26.

I look forward to working with students to develop an appreciation for Theatre as well as working on the skills of public speaking, collaboration, and creativity that they will need on their journey throughout their lives.
