Mrs "B." as she is called by her students, is a native Houstonian. She holds Bachelor Degrees in both Theatre and Spanish, and graduated from the University of Houston with a MFA in Theatre.  With over 26 years of experience in theatre education, Mrs. B has dedicated her career to cultivating creativity, discipline, and passion in young performers. As the theatre director at Humble High School, she brings a wealth of knowledge and artistry to the stage, blending her deep love for performance with a commitment to student growth.

 

Before stepping into the classroom, Mrs. B worked in theatres across Houston, performing in a wide range of productions that shaped her understanding of the craft from the inside out. Her background as an actor, director and designer informs her teaching, allowing students to learn from someone who has lived the art they study.

 

Mrs. B takes her own experiences in the theatre and uses them in her role as lead director.  She enjoys teaching her students how to channel their creative spirit into acting, directing, playwriting and makeup. She derives so much joy every year in introducing her students to a variety of traditions that create a tight-knit community of thespians-including the annual 24 Hour Theatre Project, attending the Texas Thespian Festival, the Evening of 10 Minute Plays, and many weekends spent together attending plays. In addition to all of the customary theatre instruction,  Mrs. B has also created an award-winning internationally ranked Slam Poetry team that helps students find their voice and power through spoken word.

 

Above all, she is passionate about inspiring the next generation of theatre-goers, creators, and leaders. Her students leave her program not only with skills, but with confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
