Hi! I’m Merry.

I’m one of those people who makes shower-thought pipe dreams become reality. I’m a personality hire with the talent to back it up. I’m the kind of woman who, yes, loves the glow of the spotlight but isn’t afraid to be on the ladder adjusting it either.

After nearly a decade in academia, I returned to the stage in 2022 while rebuilding my life after leaving domestic violence.
