Welcome!

I am an actress, teacher, director, wifey and mom to an adorable mutt. After receiving a BFA from The University of Evansville and an MFA from University of San Diego/Old Globe Theatre, I’ve focused on teaching and directing. I’ve lived  and worked as an actor/teacher in Oklahoma, Indiana, Chicago, LA, Denver (Denver Civic Theatre, Aurora Fox Theatre), San Diego (The Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse, La Country Day School, Crest Canyon Academy), New York City (The Dalton School, John Jay College of Criminology, The Summer Theatre Institute), and now Bakersfield, CA (Bakersfield College, Fresno Pacific University, Cal State Bakersfield, Spotlight Theatre, The Empty Space Theatre). We decided, after living the life of professional actors/gypsies, to settle in my husband’s hometown and have a cozy “normal” life and as long as I continue to hop around acting and teaching, I couldn’t be happier.

I just wrapped up final performances for my two acting classes at Bakersfield College (very proud of my students’ progress) and earlier this year, I directed Noel Coward’s, HAY FEVER  for The Empty Space Theatre. Now, I’m prepping to teach for Cal State, Bakersfield during the winter quarter.

I am busy exploring options for the summer and hope to find myself on the stage instead of in the director’s chair. Fingers crossed...

Summer ’10, I taught voice and speech for the La Jolla Playhouse’s summer conservatory and had a blast. I was surrounded by people at the top of their field for six weeks. It was a banquet and I ate it up. The Playhouse is a possibility for summer ’12 as well. We shall see!

I am a member of Actor’s Equity and the Voice and Speech Trainer’s Assoc.

PS - I’m ecstatic that the OSU Cowboys are Big 12 Conference Champions!  Go Pokes!
