Speaker's Corner

I was born and raised in Kansas and lived there until I moved to Nebraska to attend graduate school in Lincoln. After getting my MFA in Directing for Stage and Screen, I took a job at Northern Stage in White River Junction where I taught theatre classes and managed the education program.  Theatre is pretty much my favorite thing in the world.  It has been my career, but now I hope to turn it into a thriving hobby, along with dance (ballet and jazz).

As the newest Outreach Coordinator, I came to Granite State College with a mixture of experience in outreach and higher ed.  I have taught for the University of Nebraska--Lincoln, worked as an office asistant at Emporia State (my undergrad), and I've done a ton of outreach in various theatre jobs.  I absolutely love higher education, whether as student, teacher, adminstrator, whatever.  I have always felt like I was where I belonged when I was in a college building (except maybe the athletic building . . .).

I do hope to take my Vermont experiences back west eventually, but for now I am enjoying the lush mountains and the delicious weather--until it snows.
