About Me

I'm Kiana, an actress and current senior BFA Musical Theatre major at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Born in raised in California, I’ve had the joy of performing in productions ranging from Shakespearean classics to contemporary musicals in both Lincoln, Nebraska, as well as in my hometown of Pacific Grove, California. Some of my favorite roles at NWU include Miranda  in The Tempest (2025), The Queen of Hearts in Alice by Heart (2026) and Charlotte Brontë in Underdog: The Other Other Sister.

I’m currently based in Lincoln, Nebraska, but I love to travel! Ive road-tripped from California to Nebraska and back multiple times, and I’ve visited France, Spain, Turkey, and Samoa! My most recent trip was spending a month in Greece studying theatre with the International Theatre and Dance Project, run by one of my professors at Nebraska Wesleyan, Lenni Stone.
