She is a retired Reading School District math teacher and the co-founder and co-director of the YNOT Awards program in Berks County.

Thank you to Angela and Dani for taking the journey from “the heights” to “the swamp.” I can’t even begin to imagine taking this journey without you. And to my entire creative team, I have loved every minute of working with such talented and dedicated individuals, whose friendships I hold so dear! “I’m a believer” because of this amazing, talented cast and staff that have worked so hard! Thank you, TEAM SHREK!
