Vivian Hernandez Tragesser is a retired educator and proud new grandmother! She has a gift for connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds, especially English language learners whom she taught for many years. She delights in supporting students as they discover the beauty, humor, and humanity found in great literature. A life-long lover of worship and praise music, Vivian brings a spirit-filled perspective to every community she serves. In her younger years, she performed in several stage productions and developed a lasting appreciation for Shakespeare and performing Shakespearean monologues. We are thrilled to have her lead Shakespeare week this July!
