Update on my professional activities, and more!: After graduation, I taught creative dance and ballet at a small school in my hometown. Then I got my master's degree in Arts Administration/Theatre Management from the University of Alabama. I have been working as the advertising manager at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery for the past two years. I have recently been hired as the Marketing Director for the Montgomery Ballet under the direction of Elie Lazar. I'm so, so happy to be back in the dance world. And I'll get to teach modern! I also have a little dog named Max.

What my degree from OSU means to me: More important than the degree were my classmates and professors. There was never another time in my life when I felt so supported and completely at home in a place like I was in Sullivant Hall. I wasn't coddled or spoiled, but given the freedom and encouragement to do what I needed to do. I will always be grateful.

What I can offer students graduating from the program: advice, networking in my area

At 2:01pm on March 23rd, 2008, Dorian S. Ham said…: Now see, I didn't start with "Battlestar" because I'm nerd enough to have loved the original and so I avoided it. Then everyone was like "Oh. My. Gawd!" Now it's on my "TV on DVD Catch-Up List."

Yeah, people who don't love TV...I just don't get 'em!
