I was raised in Portland, Oregon, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre (with a minor in English) from Bennington College in Vermont. After brief stints in San Francisco and New York, I returned to the Pacific Northwest to establish a creative home base where I could apply my passion for engaging storytelling in everything I do. Here, I began acting and producing theatre professionally while studying design at the School of Visual Concepts and earning Marketing Certifications from Seattle Central College.
