About Heather
Heather is a proud member of the Screen Actors Guild and Actors’ Equity Association and has an extensive dance background. She trained at South Coast Repertory (SCR), studied ballet with the Joffrey Ballet School and American Ballet Theatre, and was accepted as a transfer student to New York University having been awarded the highest merit scholarship available to undergraduate students for Tisch Drama's B.F.A. Program after completing her freshman year at Scripps College. She has appeared on CBS All Access, HBO, and SCR’s Segerstrom Stage during their annual Pacific Playwrights Festival.
She is a character actor who enjoys being stretched and pushed in her work. Ever since she was 10, she has dreamt of playing a James Bond villain; however, it can’t be revealed that she is the villain until the end of the film, and she has to die (because that’s more exciting) but also not until the end of the film so she has enough screen time. She is currently studying with Howard Deutch and Amir Korangy at Workspace Hollywood.
Heather graduated with honors from the University of California, Irvine with a B.A. in European Languages and Studies with an emphasis in Early Modern Europe and a B.A. in Drama. She was awarded her M.A. in Depth Psychology with emphasis in Jungian Psychology and Archetypal Studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2022. One of her papers has been published, and another was accepted for publication and is undergoing revisions. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Golden Key International Honor Society, and Tau Sigma.
Her passion projects, hobbies, and special interests unrelated to acting include painting, singing, dancing, math, astrology, astrophysics, psychology, end-of-life care and grief education, death education, social justice, children’s rights, animal rights, writing, violin, and reading. She received her professional certification as a Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula from the University of Vermont and is certified in Usui Holy Fire® 3 Reiki Levels 1 and 2 through the International Center for Reiki Training and in Let Animals Lead® Core Curriculum.
