Hello! My name is Sharise Deimeke, I am one of the directors of ACE!! I also teach middle school and high school drama. Although I have a Bachelors of Science in Nursing, I have spent many years enjoying theatre and have a passion for it.  For most of my life, I have enjoyed studying dance, musical theater, and drama. I am honored to pass along my love for the arts to the ACE community. I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have 4 children, 3 of which have graduated from ACE. Our youngest is a senior this year. We have loved educating our children and watching them grow into the people God designed them to be. I am an entrepreneur, owning my own business which has allowed me to own my time and has given me the freedom to serve at ACE and volunteer abroad. I enjoy the life lessons that come from participating in theatre and the teamwork required to put on a production. Watching students gain the confidence to step into their gifts and talents is so rewarding. I consider it an absolute privilege to work with these students and pray I am able to give them lifelong memories through the work and the fun that comes by participating in theatre.
