I have been involved with theatre in one form or another since 1986. I graduated from Wayne High School and continued my education nearby at Wright State University. My first teaching position was at Wayne High School in English and as the Drama Club Advisor and Theatre Director. I continued teaching English and established the first theatre program at Sidney Fairlawn High School. I returned to my alma mater in 2001 and helped the program from the sidelines. I returned as the Drama and Musical Theatre Director in 2015. I served on the OHEDTA Board for two years as secretary. I am currently rebuilding our troupe and mentoring a new Drama director.
