Lyman Gilmore Middle School 
Musical Theater Program

With a deep passion for the performing arts and education, I am thrilled to embark on my new role as the Musical Theatre Director and Theatre Educator at Lyman Gilmore Middle School. Theatre has been a lifelong journey for me, spanning over thirty years in community theatre as a director, actor, and backstage crew member.

I am a proud alumnus of Chico State, where I earned my Single Subject Credential in Social Science and Theatre. My love for educational theatre led me to pursue a master’s degree in the field, allowing me to merge my dedication to storytelling with my commitment to student growth and creativity.

Bringing theatre to young artists is more than just a career—it is a calling. I believe in the power of theatre to inspire confidence, foster teamwork, and ignite imagination in students. I am beyond excited to cultivate a dynamic, inclusive, and engaging theatre program at Lyman Gilmore, where students can develop their talents and discover the magic of the stage.

I look forward to this exciting new chapter and cannot wait to collaborate with students, staff, and the community to bring meaningful theatrical experiences to life!
