Take Time to Listen, Care and Share!

I'd love to take some time to introduce myself.  I'm thrilled to be the Theatre teacher at CMS! 

• I was born in St. Louis, MO.

• I have a Bachelor's Degree in Speech & Theatre Education & Master's Degree in Theatre from Missouri State University.

• I have been involved in theatre since the age of 8. (Performer, Choreographer, Director, etc.)

• I have over 13 years of formal dance training. (ballet, tap, jazz, etc.)

• I taught 8th grade Language Arts, Speech/Theatre, and Computer Applications (Journalism) in Marshall, MO for 4 years.

• I spent 6 summers teaching drama at a girls' Point O' Pines Camp for Girls in upstate New York.

• I taught Speech/Drama at Rockwood Valley MS and Rockwood South MS 2013-2014.

• I have directed Rockwood/Parkway Community Ed's Spotlight Productions for 3 summers (Tarzan, Shrek, & Newsies).

• I have been teaching Speech/Drama full-time at Crestview MS since 2014.

On a more personal note:

• I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful sons (Joey & Frankie) and a daughter (Maggie).

• I enjoy reading, singing, dancing, and spending time with my family outside of my time at school.

• My favorite role as a performer was as Fantine in Les Miserables.

• My favorite show I've ever seen was Hairspray.  After the curtain call, the audience was so excited by the performance that we all got up and danced in the aisles. ​
