As an actor, I've appeared in several independent films in the Pacific Northwest, including Redwood Highway with Oscar Nominee Shirley Knight and Dear Future Self with Marlyn Mason (star of the Elvis Presley film The Trouble with Girls). On stage, some favorite roles include Sheila Birling in Theatre Convivio's 2018 production of An Inspector Calls, Sue Bayliss in All My Sons at the Camelot Theatre, and many plays at Southern Oregon University. Most recently, I appeared in the feature films One Step Ahead, From the Dark, Emma Was Here, (which I co-produced), and The Diminished (which I directed).
