I have taught at Cornerstone University since 2000. My love of theatre has brought me to CU. We are building a theatre program of excellence and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.
 

Academic History & Involvements:

Some of my favorite CU directing credits include The Woman In Black (for which she received a Grand Award nomination in 2005), The Man Who Came To Dinner, The Boyfriend, The Last Night of Ballyhoo and The Heiress. I have opera, directing, solo performance and acting credits in Iowa, Texas, Missouri, Michigan and Florida. I have worked with Circle Theatre, Heritage Theatre Group and Lost In the Cove Productions in Grand Rapids, Mich. My most memorable theatre experiences include an internship with renowned British director Michael Bogdonav in New York with Dodger Productions, where I  worked on the musical in workshop Lone Star Love, with Jim Belushi and A.C. Ciulla. I also spent the summer of 1999 working as an intern in New York at Bernard Telsey Casting, were she worked on projects such as Rent, De La Guarda, and various commercials.
