She has always had a passion for the theatrical arts, starting in theatre camps in middle school, writing her first (published!) play as a teen, and continuing to participate in community theatre as an actress (Babe in Crimes of the Heart, Sister James in Doubt: A Parable, ensemble of Love, Loss, and What I wore) and director (The Humans, August: Osage County, The Glass Menagerie, Next to Normal, And Then There Were None). She couldn't be prouder of her students! She wants to dedicate this show to them, to her amazing family, and to Adam (the love of her life).
