From Shakespeare to a big, brassy musical, storytelling in a heightened way is where my heart's at.
After years of trying to fit into a definable box, here I am, embracing who I am and what I bring. An Elle Woods can just as genuinely be a Baker's Wife. A Glinda, a Lady Macbeth.
I can be gaga for Broadway & be a total First Folio nerd all. at. once.
The characters that stay with us are the ones who allow us into their complexity. Frothy has a deep base. I stand by that. Contradictions don't cancel each other out, but compound.
So...I'm pleased to meet you in my wholeness!
Some proud contradictions:
Passionate about both my halves: Irish & Mexican and Proudly identify as both. I am the National Irish Dancing Champion grandaughter of a Mariachi Guitarist.
There are 2 performances that made me want to be an actor. Dee Roscioli's Defying Gravity in WICKED & Tracy Michelle Arnold's Margaret in RICHARD III
I love bubbly and bright & moody and dramatic. Rosé and Bordeaux.
I find strength in embracing my femininity.
Beyond that? I'm a major crafter and real life Mary Poppins. I love new recipes and find great joy in putting love into food.
I am married to my best friend, Andrew Oppmann, who is ALSO an actor who sings and dances and is the kindest human being. We hire very nicely together ;) Check him out at andrewoppmannactor.com
