What inspires you as an artist? I love helping translate the thoughts of the writer/composer to the audience.

Tell us a story from your childhood that illuminates who you are as an artist? I did Once Upon A Mattress in high school with a 104f fever, because I didn't want to miss a performance.

Who are or were your theatrical heroes? I'm a fan of comedians like Carol Burnett and Dick Van Dyke.

What kind of theatre excites you? I enjoy watching modern renditions of old classic musicals. The new director and cast can add so much.

What’s the craziest thing you have ever needed to do for theatre? I once played a daughter and a pirate simultaneously in The Pirates of Penzance.

Outside of a theatre, what’s your favorite hot spot in Orange County? My favorite spot is Angel Stadium.
The Angels will be champions again someday - hopefully sooner than later!
