Tarah currently lives in Los Angeles and is a leading lady both in indie films and on stage. She is a company member at Ensemble Studio Theater, where she works with LA writers on developing new work. She has been refered to as a "new play development actor," and loves being part of this process. Tarah is also a founding member of the award winning, Femme-led company ELAN Ensemble! When she's not acting,she spends time directing, producing, and writing.

 

From Texas originally, Tarah spent her childhood horseback riding on the family ranch. Like a true Texas lady she started tap, jazz, and ballet at age three. She went on to compete and even did high kick routines & clogged at football games! With deep roots in the theater, Tarah came into her own at Dallas Theater Center. In her first audition there at six years old, the director called her "a fine young actress." Tarah ran out of the room crying and said to her mom through tears, "he said I was just FINE." To which her mom had to explain that that was in fact a compliment. 

 

When she was fifteen years old, she decided to get the heck out of Texas &  moved to Ojai, California to attend a performing arts boarding school known as Happy Valley School. Tarah went on to UC Santa Barbara where she received her BFA in Acting. After graduating from UCSB, Tarah went on to study acting at University of Southern California where she earned her MFA. 

​

Tarah also enjoys spending time with her Australian Cattle Dog-Ada, hiking, swimming in the ocean, watching movies, reading plays, gardening, and cooking.
