BIOGRAPHY:

Nina moved to Staunton in October 2023 and soon joined ASC as a Box Office Associate. In January 2024, she left her position at the Playhouse, took a short walk to ASC’s administrative offices, and began her current position as Finance Assistant.

Nina was born and raised in Kentucky and left the Bluegrass State to pursue a BFA at The Theatre School at DePaul University. Here she developed a passion for dramaturgy, performance studies, and research. Her academic journey led her to Ireland where she pursued an M.Phil in Medieval Studies: Culture and Civilization from Trinity College Dublin. Nina’s personal research focuses on women, gender, bodily autonomy, and religion in medieval and Early Modern Europe.

Beyond her primary role as Finance Assistant, Nina loves to contribute to the company in other ways, such as filming productions for the ASC’s archives and giving tours whenever she can.
