Needs:
Technology for making films and broadcasting/webcasting/podcasting (school safety, character education films, open house, school news broadcasting, interviews, guest speaker footage, webcasting, publicity for school events, etc)
My Philosophy:
Theatre Arts is a class in which all students can learn and be involved. Theatre supports and enriches all academic classes in highly engaging activities as well as teaches many important social and business skills.

Personal Information:
About Me:
I am married and the mother of two young children. I was a flight attendant for Continental Express for two years before I decided to become a teacher.
College and Degrees:
I graduated with a BFA in acting from Baylor University. I attended the Asolo Conservatory (Florida State University) in Sarasota, FL for 1 1/2 years of graduate acting school. I recieved my teaching certification from the University of Houston along with a minor in English.
Favorite Books:
Jane Eyre, Farenheit 451, and murder mysteries
Interests:
I love movies, acting, computer games, crafts with my children, hiking and camping.
Why Do I Teach?:
I love kids and getting them excited about something -- the way their faces light up when they suddenly understand or "get" something is truly motivating. Nothing is better than having an ex-student return and tell me how much I inspired or changed or postively affected his or her life.
