"I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have                been more specific"

Lilly Tomlin, "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe."

​

Yep! This pretty much sums up my life!

 

From the age of 13 when I performed my first Chassé across the stage in a jazz dance routine

I was hooked on self-expression. Now, many, many years later I've finally reached that sweet spot where my passions and experience have converged. I've been acting onstage since 2010 in musical theatre and dance productions;  and, since 2015 I've been acting in film and commercial roles.

 

Today my greatest joy is that now, that "somebody" has emerged -- me! Playing characters in these various roles comes from my deep well of life experience mixed with improvisation.  And, because I still love to sing and dance, I study tap and I've recently formed a vocal ensemble group called the "Sassy Singers."

My resume gives you an idea of my training and experience, but there's more! My documentary film "Visceral: transforming trauma through theatre" continues to touch lives.  I'd love to share it with you.

I live in Bellingham, WA with my husband Kurt and our dog Edison (aka, Eddie). Please enjoy some of my favorite commercial and performance photos below!
