- I’m an actress, and have a masters in dramatic arts from The Royal London Academy of Dramatic Arts.
- I’m currently in rehearsals for a “moving venue” stage production consisting of short vignettes from five David Mamet plays.
- Favorite performance? A year touring small town America in The Laramie Project, where we hosted after show discussions around homophobia.
- Worst Performance? Definitely the Baroness in The Sound Of Music. On opening night The Captain and I had a serious fall during the balcony scene after the scaffolding broke. As did my ankle. In 3 places!
- I’ve been a natural blond my entire life but recently had to go dark auburn for a role. Who knew? Doubt I’ll ever go back!
- I have a Jack Russel / Westie mix, Miss Blanche. You might say she’s spoiled.
- alto, or Allan, has been my best friend since the 9'th grade.

- My favorite response to online sexist trolls?, “Shelby honey, drink your juice”, followed by this.
