Marshals - a yellowstone spinoff on cbs

Screenshots from episode one, released on CBS and Paramount+ last month. And now, the show is officially renewed for Season 2! Cheers to everyone who helped bring it to life.

Watching these scenes feels a bit like flipping through an old photo book of memories... and I'm a complete sap for nostalgia

I remember walking onto the Marshals set for the first time last August and feeling a deep sense of history in those walls. We were only a few days into filming episode one, but it felt like that room had decades of life lived in it.

A little peek behind the curtain... I was originally only confirmed for one episode. That gradually grew into several across the season, and by episode three my character name changed from "Tech # 1" to "Eve." Waves of gratitude for how many times I got to step back into that world.

And yes... I fell in love with my desk in the back right corner.

I love the craft of acting enough that I'd probably keep doing it alone in a cardboard box somewhere. But working alongside these remarkable humans turns the fulfillment up to 11. They were so welcoming, caring, and lovely.

Whether they're protecting lives and chasing bad guys, or showing up to set with a whole lot of heart, openness, and creativity, I'd trust this crew anytime.

Escape From Germany

T.C.Christensen’s beautiful “Escape From Germany” released in theaters April 11. For showtimes and more information, check out the film’s website here.

My character in this true story is Evelyn Wood, the mission president's wife in 1939 as they’re trying to get all the missionaries out of Germany before the borders close due to WWII. I loved learning all about the history of these inspiring people and am grateful for the opportunity to walk in Evelyn's shoes. From everything I read, she is a powerhouse! After all the experiences in Germany, she went on to get a masters degree and started a business after developing a speed reading program. Talk about a strong female role model from the early 1900s. You’ll have to watch the film to get to know the other characters :)

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1

Stepping back in time to the 1800s for this film was magical. The people I worked with are inspiring, the story is intense, and the cinematography is beautiful. So excited to see it in theaters June 28th!

MassMutual Holiday Commercial

I’ve always believed the world needs more hugs, so filming this one was particularly special for me!

Christmas is (ALMOST) here!

I haven’t watched a lot of Hallmark/Lifetime movies in my spare time... But I may have been converted this year. My heart feels so full being part of a film that creates the “magic” of Christmas, focuses on the importance of family, and allows tears to be created in so many eyes. Definitely one of my favorite acting experiences, and I would love to do one of these every holiday season!

Bagels and Billboards

21 takes later, I have a firm commitment to carpool more… and eat cream cheese less :)

Be a hero for the environment and slather on the cream cheese and enjoy carpooling to work. This funny PSA TV commercial was conceived by Penna Powers https://pennapowers.com/ and production was done by Savvy Productions https://savvyproductions.com/

Reading Horizons Voice Over

I am loving the increase of voice over work recently. Here’s a couple videos I worked on with Reading Horizons! Enjoy :)

Funny story: I sent the link to a friend of mine, and got a text back 5 minutes later: “I just laughed so hard at myself. I’ve been conditioned to click a video on YouTube and wait for the skip option on the obligatory ad, that I was thinking ‘why can’t I skip this ad’ before I even realized it was your voice. Fooling your friends - That’s the ultimate measure of success.”

When you hit a wall... just climb it

We’ve got a climbing script in development (planning to start production this summer), so I’ve been doing my conditioning homework to build up to full strength! It is amazing how intertwined the health of the body and mind are. I always feel healthier after an hour or two on the wall.

Silent Night

Having grown up listening to the beautiful songs of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I was very grateful for the opportunity to be in this Christmas music video of Silent Night. It is a beautiful story with many themes that matter. At the top of that list for me is this: make an effort to spend time with those you love. Hope you enjoy the video!

Directed by Christopher S. Clark and Patrick H. Parker

Cast: Kevin Sorbo as my Dad, Mark Cameron as my husband, and Jason Hardy as my son.

Music of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square

As a diverse community rallies together to help a young couple with the unexpected birth of a child, a father is moved to reconcile with his daughter, Whitney Palmer.

Magellan Premiere

Friday, March 3, is the premiere of Magellan.  This is a feature film, with a beautifully emotional story where I play Abigail Nelson, NASA A.I. specialist and the “astronaut wife” left behind for a decade. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's time, talent, and energy come together on the big screen!
