Theatre
I began my theatre career as a kid at Brush Creek Playhouse in Silverton, Oregon. I continued to perform with Brush Creek Playhouse, American Academy of Performing Arts, and Silverton High School’s theatre department for nearly a decade. After time away from the stage to pursue a career in chemistry, I returned to performing in 2023. Here are some highlights from my time in theatre!
A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Fairy Ensemble
For the production A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Mt. Hood Community College, I was cast as part of the fairy ensemble. I sang and danced in many ensemble numbers, as well as serving as the “rigging fairy”, an in-character ground rigger for the aerial arts rigging transitions.

Nutcracker - Mother Ginger and Ginger “Kids”.
For the 2024 production of Silverton’s Community Nutcracker directed by Marta Hazekamp, I was cast as a Ginger “Kid” alongside Murphy Bell. Being a fourth annual production, the audience was anticipating adorable children crawling from under the dress—instead, two adults clowning surprised the audience with unexpected delight!
