I am happy to say that Esperanza HS was a 'springboard' to success for me! After graduation, I attended East 15 Drama School in London, England, and then, took a BFA in Theatre at UC Irvine. I believe in life-long education, so I have earned a Minor in Spanish, a Masters in Teaching and several teaching credentials.
On the personal side of things, I have been married for over 17 years to Mike, and we have 3 lovely boys, Justen, Connor and Jack-Justen lettered in wrestling during his Freshman year, plays guitar, and almost has a black belt in Kenpo Karate; Connor is the golfer, the gardener, and the businessman! He also was an umpire for Minors Baseball this year. Jack has just finished 3rd grade where he began algebra this year! He has decided that he wants to be a pitcher, and will attend pitching camp this summer. Last summer, the Boys and I (Dad had to work) went to England for vacation to see part of the world (yes, we were there during some of the bombings). God kept us safe, and he also kept Jill Alderson (an EHS Alumni) and her 9 year old son, Tristan, safe as well! We took the kids to Plymouth, Cornwall, London, Brighton...they had the time of their lives!!
I am originally from New York, so on the way home, the Boys and I stopped in NYC to see cousins, and of course, a Yankees Game! Guess who they were playing? The Anaheim Angels of course!! Sorry Angels fans, but NY won. we then headed up state to some other friends who live in Cambridge-They rebuilt a 17th century farm house...needless to say, it is quite brilliant. We came home, and were happy to return.
Currently, I am a drama teacher/studio teacher, a professional actor, and a Mom, which is the most important job of all! I have directed several shows this year-Currently, I have some grant money allowing me to co-direct some scenes from Shakespeare in hopes of creating a permanent Shakespeare Festival in our area. I live just outside Coloma, where Sutter's Mill, the gold discovery site is located. If you are ever here to visit for cycling, rafting, camping et al, please look us up, and we'll take you to the town of Cool, California near our home! We guarantee you'll have a terrific time.
Well, I think I have revealed enough, and as the old saying goes, 'Always leave your audience wanting!'
