I began singing and dancing at a very early age and continued throughout my school years studying and honing my craft. I have worked from the mid-west to the east coast on the professional stage and in street festivals and Renaissance Faires as a variety of characters. I've also designed costumes, props and helped with stage sets. I've directed, choreographed and stage managed many professional, high school, college and community productions.
Currently my husband and I run our small production company, Wits End Studio Productions. We have produced books, live productions and sell art. As an actress, I work with Murder Mystery Productions which currently performs monthly at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC. We also work corporate and private shows. I also work as Pirate Penelope - a street character I created 8 years ago.
I am always seeking employment as an actress. Currently Non-Union.
I was the Managing Director / Associate Producer for the Red Barn Playhouse in Saugatuck, MI and The Massachusetts Repertory Theatre in No. Dartmouth, MA. Both were professional Equity Guest Artist facilities. With both of those theatres I also helped in various areas when needed - box office, production management, etc.
I've been a radio on-air personality and voice-over artist in MI & MA.
Unique traits: singer (Mezzo Soprano), various accents (Irish, British, French & others), movement (former dancer), play basic guitar
