Eileen is a dramatic actress who keeps getting laughed at. She is twice a Birdsall Award recipient for her hilarious roles as "Bernice" in The Musical Comedy murders of 1940 and "Eulalie" in The Music Man. Her early background is as a choral singer with the Sacramento Chorale and the James Mitchell Chorale until 1985 when a production of Fiddler on the Roof hooked her on community theater.

Since then, she has been in over 50 Musical and Stage productions at the Davis Musical Theatre Company, Chatauqua Playhouse, and at Magic Circle. She is a resident of Roseville and considers Magic Circle her "home base." Eileen is also a talented costume designer, winner of the 1994 Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance "Elly" award for best costumes for a musical production of Anything Goes. She has produced and directed several musical variety productions and was a featured performer in the Magic Circle Express.
