Wendy is a San Diego native, having graduated from Coronado High School. She then attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts where she received her BFA in Acting, with honors. After spending 7 years in the Big Apple, she returned to her hometown in 1999. In addition to being a theatre and commercial actor, Wendy entered the world of education working with several non-profits, most notably Playwrights Project where she was a Teaching Artist for 17 years. In 2015, Wendy joined the San Diego Police Foundation as a Presenter for the SafetyNet® program, where she was able to combine her love of education with speaking in front of large audiences. She officially took over responsibilities as Program Manager of SafetyNet® in May of 2020. Due to the distance learning that has been put into place, Wendy quickly worked with her team at the San Diego Police Foundation to figure out a way to stream the presentation to students using online platforms with teachers within different school districts. In addition to her work with SafetyNet® and in the theatre world, Wendy has the honor of being wife to Brad and mother to Harper.
