Summary
While my skills both in the retail and medical field show that I am performance-driven and results oriented, it is in teaching and theatre that I would like to focus. I have been involved in theatre since I was 13 years old, having participated in well over 70 productions. I have produced, directed, stage managed, costumed, acted, and many other things in these shows. Theater is my passion. I have performed in Janesville and Madison, as well as with the Fox River Theatre Troupe, Evergreen Theatre, Green Bay Community Theatre, Oshkosh Community Theatre, and Attic Theatre. Some of my favorite shows over the years have been Chorus Line, Suddenly Last Summer, The Crucible, Alibis, Bell, Book and Candle, On Golden Pond (directing), Cheaper by the Dozen, Forty Carats, Blithe Spirit, and many more. I have been in a short film entitled, "Into the Jungle," by bigsyd productions, "Room 108: The Clearing," "Room 108: Redemption," and I am currently playing the role of Rose Lariviere in the series, "Union House Hotel," which is currently showing on Amazon Prime. These last shows are all produced by MLC Productions.
