GET TO KNOW ME

What was the first play you worked on? — Technically, when my mom was pregnant with me, she played Anne Boelyn on stage. Next, I played Amaryllis in her high school production of Music Man.

Hidden Talent — I'm really good at encouraging people to spend a lot of money at non-profit auctions. Also, finding max capacity of dishes in the dishwasher.

Favorite Thing to Collect — Anything pink or gingham. Also, oversized sunglasses. If the glasses are pink, even better.
