I attended: JMU and earned a BA in Communications. I earned a MA in English from LSU and my certificate in teaching from George Washington University. My favorite classes at JMU were my film classes.

I was born in: Ft. Belvoir, Virginia and I grew up in Vienna. I attended Oakton High school. I have lived in Louisiana, various places in Virginia, and in Tokyo, Japan. At Oakton I participated in Drama all four years and made my stage debut In Applause my senior year. I love all sports, and I have played soccer on a rec team.

Before teaching at AHS: I was a housemother at Foxcroft  in Middleburg, VA. I have also been an instructor at an outdoor adventure school, an instructor at LSU, and I have worked in television production.

I teach at AHS because: I love the diversity of the school, and I love my students and colleagues. I feel like I am in a huge family. This is my 13th year at AHS, and I teach English, Literacy Lab 2, and Peer Tutoring.

In my free time: I like to read, go to the movies, run, do crossword puzzles. My favorite movie of all time is The Godfather and my favorite TV shows are Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead.

I am Bonnie Vining
