Bio:

From singing herself to sleep in her crib at night to singing on the stage, Gillian’s passion for performance has never wavered. Her love for storytelling, empathetic connection, and creativity is the driving force for everything she does— from writing to acting to marketing.

Pursuing her passion, Gillian moved to Atlanta where she attended Oglethorpe University on a Georgia Shakespeare Full-Tuition Scholarship. After four years of studying, rehearsals, writing, internships, and performances, Gillian graduated valedictorian with a BA in Theatre and a BA in Communication & Rhetorical Studies.

Gillian has had the honor of working with People Store Talent Agency as both a Film & Television Intern and as an actor before she signed with AWA and Robyn Bluestone Management. You can see Gillian’s array of characters in Emergency, Gigi & Nate, The ReEducation of Molly Singer, and as a recurring on The Big Door Prize on Apple TV.

Gillian is grateful for the opportunities she’s had to work with phenomenal directors, actors, writers, and producers, and excited for upcoming projects with talented storytellers.
