Q- How did you get into theater?
I took a drama class when I was in high school, but hadn't done anything other than the occasional road show until two years ago. I met Kevin and he invited me to see some of the plays he was in, then showed me Players Anonymous. I started meeting more people and going to more shows when I decided I wanted to have fun too. So I set a goal to audition for one show. And now I?m addicted.

Q- What do you love/hate about theater?
I love that it gets me out of the house. I love meeting new people. I love trying out things I never even thought of doing before. I love the applause.
I don't like the stress that it adds when things get real crazy in my life. If I could time my shows so they didn't coincide with big things at work, it would be better.

Q- What is/are your favorite roles you've played?
I?ve had a lot of fun with all of them. They've all been so different from each other that it would be hard to pick one.
 
Q- What is/are your least favorite roles you've played?
So far I've enjoyed them all.

Q- Who is/are your acting idols?
I don't really have any.

Q: Who is your favorite director?
Kate, just because she gave me a break and got me going in this.

Q: Any funny or interesting stories to tell about your theater experience?
I had the honor of being in the third worst play in Utah for 2003!! And during that play I got to pull Ami's feet every night to get her through the trap door.

Q: Hobbies besides theater:
Sewing in general, but mainly quilting; reading; goofing around with computers; distance running

Q-What do you do for a living?
I teach computers at an elementary school

Q- Tell me about your family, where you grew up, where you live now, etc.
I'm the oldest of three children, I have one brother and one sister. We lived in Utah, New Mexico, and Texas growing up. I claim Texas because I'd be crazy not to and that is where I went to high school. Now I live in Orem, the last place I ever thought I'd live.
