Onstage, she played Ramona in the popular children's play, 'Ramona Quimby', stepping into the role with just a few days notice.
For the AFI Women's Directing Workshop, she played the daughter of Blythe Danner in 'Miss American Beauty' as well as the lead in another indie film, 'Up Above the World So High'.
