Tatom Pender

     With the intent to combine two of her professional pursuits Tatom began teaching on-camera acting.  Her previous experience as a performing arts camp counselor and as a preschool teacher combined with her passion for film has lead to a class with remarkable results.  Prior to JCAC, Tatom received her B.A. in Acting from Brenau University under the Gainesville Theater Alliance.  She also worked with Jodi and Ray Benson (Disney's Little Mermaid) in the musical "Sounds Like Christmas".  She studied improv under Jerry Bowman and Don Stallings before deciding to study in 2005 at The Professional Actor's Studio.   Currently Tatom is one of the main stage actors with Playing In Traffic Improv.
