I have been teaching for CCPS for 8 years. I taught my first 4 years at Patuxent High School as the director of theater. I have been at NHS 4 years and have taught Theater, Yearbook, and English. The theater program at NHS has grown to a full day, 6 period a day program, so I am now full-time theater at NHS. I am the mother of two beautiful boys, Ethan and Lucas and the wife of 14 years to my awesome husband Matthew. I love directing theater for the NHS Patriot Players and I hope you check out what we have to offer.

Every summer I head to New York to check out what is happening on Broadway. Last year my husband and I made a trip to pick up items from the Broadway set of PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, our fall show. We looked like we cleaned out someone's chimney but we stocked up with a full haul of sets and props! These sets and props will be included with our set on the stage this fall for our rendition of the show. I also visited this summer and attended SCHOOL OF ROCK at the winter Garden Theater. I got to meet some of the awesome cast members. We will be staging that production in the spring!
