Bio
I teach junior and senior high English classes, as well as a new drama elective this fall. In addition, I started our school's drama troupe, The Highland Players - Check our website at www.highlandplayersmontroseacademy.org! I am also in the process of writing curriculum for an advanced English class, "Shakespeare and the English Renaissance."

My kids (Elise and Iain, ages 11 and 8) and husband (David of almost 14 years), coaching drama, teaching, reading, watching Shakespearean plays and movies...Henry V is my favorite!
