Hi, I’m Moira, an actor living and working in Los Angeles!

I was born and raised in Los Angeles and surrounded by creative people all my life. I began studying theatre and musical theatre at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts (LACHSA). There, I participated in Get Lit, DTASC, the Ohlone Theatre Festival receiving 1st Place in Women’s Comedic Monologue,  and Music Center Spotlight Competition where I was a monologue finalist. I am an alumna of the British American Drama Academy and a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY.

At SLC, I acted in numerous plays and musicals, directed and performed devised works, and developed my puppetry skills. I studied poetry and performed in the Senior Writing Showcase and twice in Sarah Lawrence’s Annual Dead Poets Slam. My writing focuses on the body and my experience as a young, queer woman.

In April I became a member Theatre of NOTE in Hollywood and assisted the puppet build on their production of Kill Shelter. Since then I have performed with the Neo Ensemble Theater Company and made my debut at Theatre of NOTE in their production of Electric, I.
