Allow me to introduce myself!

(Specific information and materials for each course can be found on Google Classroom.)

I have been working in high schools for over ten years now, but I started as an actor! I loved dancing, singing, and acting in high school plays and pursued dancing and musical theater in college. When I graduated from MSU, I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to perform with the Brave New Workshop, an improvisation theater. After a few years there, I moved to Los Angeles, California where I studied, auditioned, worked in marketing for the film industry, and spent a lot of time at the beach. When I received a scholarship to earn my Masters degree in Theater from MSU, I returned home to Michigan where I found myself teaching Theater and Humanities courses at MSU, LCC, and UofM-Flint for several years. Eventually, I came to my senses - high school students are more fun, interesting, and awesome! Since then, I've taught at Grand Ledge High School and Haslett High School, and I have loved every minute. I am passionate about reading and writing, and I love stories. Once you're in my classroom for a few days, you'll see how my acting background still comes in handy! I love to laugh, learn new perspectives, share diverse backgrounds, and talk about a good book -- all while using a British accent. ;)

I am looking forward to meeting you!
