For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be an actor. 
I grew up in Northern Minnesota in a town called Bemidji.  My mom was a writer and an English teacher at Bemidji High School and my dad was a composer and he also directed the choir at Bemidji State University.  I have one brother who is 6 years younger than I am.  He lives in Los Angeles, California with his wife and two daughters.  He works in the film industry.  I guess you could say that the arts are a family affair.
After high school, I went to college.  I started at the University of Minnesota and later transfered to Luther College in Decorah, IA.  I graduated in 1987 with a BA in English and Secondary Education.
After college, I moved to Minneapolis and began my career as a professional actress.  My very first show was at The Minneapolis Children's Theater Company, and it was wonderful!  Since then, some of the theaters that I have worked at include The Great American History Theater, Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop, Stages Theater Company, Troupe America and the Actor's Theater of Minnesota.  I have also appeared in several commercials, industrial videos and I even got to be in a couple of big screen movies!
I love to perform in big musicals, but my very favorite kind of theater to perform is Improvisational Theater.  When I was at Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop, I learned a lot about improvisation and sketch writing.  I coached a young adult team.  We wrote and performed several improv/sketch comedy shows for the Minnesota Fringe Festival and the Chicago Improv Festival.  I still teach improvisation to all sorts of people - children through adults, and I think that improvisation is a skill that everyone should learn!
As soon as I began acting, I began teaching theater to children and adults.  I have taught with The Minnesota Children's Theater Company, Stages Theater Company, The St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists and Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop.  I love teaching theater, and I'm pretty sure it's exactly what I should be doing with my life!
I met my husband, Rick,  while I was working at Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop.  We were married in 1997.  We have 3 daughters - Olivia, Nora and Ava.  We have a black lab named Shadow and a cat named Ruby.  We live in St. Paul.
I have been teaching at Four Seasons A+ Elementary School since December, 2002.  I love this school and I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful, educational and artistic community.
