What was your first
acting part?
The Last Night of Ballyhoo, in

renouncement, Danica Harlan

but she’s confident.

Who’s your biggest mentor?
I’ve had many mentors over the
years, women and men who’ve
lent their ear, experience, encourage-
ment and support. Catlin Adams and
Marilyn Fox have been two seminal
influences in my life and training.
I owe much of what I’ve learned
around craft and truth in acting to
those exceptional teachers.

What was your college major?
Biology. I added theater as a
second major, but between work
and school, I didn’t have time to write
a thesis for both. That was the
moment I knew that I had to pick one,
and I picked theater.
