about
me
I was raised in New Orleans where I grew up training as an Olympic-track gymnast. As I reached teenhood, I shifted my focus to competitive-league soccer before heading out to Seattle for college where I found acting. After I graduated, I moved to NYC to train further and earned my MFA from The New School for Drama. There, I studied under some phenomenal teachers: Kathleen Chalfant, Peter Jay Fernandez, Cotter Smith, David Chambers, Joe Grifasi, Erica Fae and many more. After graduating, I continued to study under Dianne Wiest, Erica Jensen, Maria Dizzia, and with the Bob Krakower technique.
​
After a decade in New York, I made the move out west and I now happily live in Portland, OR where I continue to work bi-coastally in film, tv, and theatre. Since the move, I've had the pleasure of working with Chris Conner, Ted Rooney, & Joseph Bertot.
As a gender non-conforming actor, I'm consistently cast in roles written about folks who are exploring the spectrum of gender. Much of my recent work reflects that, and the characters I'm called in for are people who are fighting to be seen, heard, and taken seriously in situations where those things seem impossible.
The Bed Trick
by Keiko Green
directed by Luan Schooler
About the play:
Ahh, the old bed trick… When Person A tricks Person B into sleeping with them by pretending to be Person C. Classic! Zeus did it, it’s in the Book of Genesis, and Shakespeare took it to comic heights in All’s Well that Ends Well. So why wouldn’t it work for college dorm-mates Lulu, Marianne, and Harriet?
​
Sparks fly in this effervescent bedroom farce by Seattle’s Keiko Green, where the joys of being young and frisky smash into questions of deception and consent. The Bed Trick is a fresh, sparkling comedy about sex, ethics, and Shakespeare.

Reviews:
"The four actors sparkle with their entertaining portrayals of teens – especially when Harriet jumps up and down and cries “Oh, my gosh!” with gleeful innocence. This is especially enjoyable if you caught Tennant’s devastating performance last year as the hard-edged Yelena in 21ten’s Uncle Vanya, a character that’s a galaxy away from this touchingly goofy college kid." - Oregon ArtsWatch
​
"Tennant brings the same emotional complexity to Harriet’s questioning as they do to Shakespeare’s poetry." - Broadway World
