I was always an avid reader, even if I wasn't the best reader. I would read book after book often returning to well loved favorites to read again. My favorite genres are Science Fiction and Historical Fiction. I find both the past and the possible future very interesting. When I became a librarian I was very excited by the prospect of sharing my love of books. I quickly discovered that teaching library and technology is much more than reading books. It's sharing information, learning about reliable resources, digital citizenships, computer skills. Being a librarian at St. Philip's also means I teach technology, film editing, 3d printing and much more. When I'm not reading and teaching library and technologie skill you can find me running SPAS Drama Club.
My love for theater began when I was a child. My dad was always involved in various forms of artistic expression. Some of my earliest memories are watching my dad on stage. Then I was introduced to musicals. OH the joys of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Cole Porter. I could spend hours watching these movie musicals. Once at FSHA I was overjoyed to discover a thriving theater arts program. I took every opportunity to be a part of that wonderful community. Thanks to my teachers I learned about the stage. When I was asked to direct the St. Philip Drama Club program I was overjoyed. I hadn't really done anything since high school so I was nervous to be in charge of an entire production. Thank goodness St. Philips is blessed with teachers like Mrs. Simone and Mr. W who both have experience on the stage through dance and stage craft respectively! I feel that after about 5 years of collaboration the three of us make a great team and St. Philips has a drama program to be proud of.
