Biography

Bonnie has always had a special place in her heart for the performing arts and a love of children. Whether performing in plays starting in junior high school, playing the flute, or participating in ballet recitals, Bonnie always enjoyed the arts, even from a young age. As she got older, she began sharing that love with children, including running her church young childrens choir in Nebraska, being in charge of musical activities when working at a daycare, or in over a decade as a Girl Scout leader. Up With Kids gives her the perfect opportunity to teach children about the arts and help them to bring out their talents, all the while keeping it fun!
