Bridget has been with MN Drama since 2011.  Her background is in performing arts (Bachelor of Music from West Chester, Master of Music from Manhattan School of Music), and Education (PhD Education from Widener), so this role is a terrific fit as a combination of the two.  Watching the students bravely try new things and learn new skills is wonderful, and this program especially values students collaborating to support one another with their diverse strengths and talents.  It's a joy to watch the performers grow as they learn to trust their own bodies, and their castmates, as dancers.  Miss Bridget loves the process of teaching and rehearsing just as much as the thrill of the curtain opening for each performance.  Her pride for her students grows year after year.
