Summary
I devoted my professional life to students. I wanted to be a positive influence in their life, someone who instilled confidence and a desire to learn, about everything! Science teaching became the vehicle through which I connected.
After several years focusing on making science the most exciting class for students, I had the opportunity to work with the English teacher who was also the head of the Drama Department. It brought back memories of my own experience in high school performance and the recognition that this was the way to give my students their VOICE! I fell back in love with the theater, which brings me to today. The idea of continuing to work with people in the performing arts makes me very happy.
If I can assist Northern Stage in Costumes and Wardrobes, or in any other capacity, I would be delighted.
