Shondra Marie
- Actress
- Casting Director
I'm Shondra Marie and I am a proud member of both Actors Equity Association and SAG-AFTRA and a lover of theatre/film/TV, but, that's not the only thing about me. I love to create. "Create" means so many different things. Of course, acting and singing are some ways that creativity occurs, but I also love all types of needlework (cross-stitch, hardanger embroidery, sewing, machine embroidery - as well as a little beading, crocheting, quilting, and knitting thrown in there for good measure!). I am a DIYer, with projects ranging from painting every inch of our house (inside) to decoupaging a file cabinet with a Van Gogh Tardis on it. Most of my DIY projects start with,"I have absolutely no idea how this is going to look," and normally end with, "Well, that's kinda cool." Somedays, I brush up on my piano and other days I journal. I'll even write poems (although I'm not great at signing or dating them. I really need to get better about that).
I've always driven a stick-shift until 2015 when we got our Ford Fusion Hybrid. Incredibly comfortable car - but, I sometimes still have to check myself when I unthinkingly want to "shift" gears, and then when I go back to driving our other car, I have to make sure not to stall it. Todd and I now have 3 black kitties: Blackstrap, Licorice, & Velvet.
I am also a doTERRA Wellness Advocate, which came from becoming more passionate about Essential Oils and Holistic Wellness. I've done this by learning more about taking care of myself, which includes working out with Beachbody, eating more veggies, drinking more and more water (which is pretty much all I drink anyway), and using more non-toxic cleaning supplies.
I'm always busy working in various part-time jobs. I have been working in the Medical Center since 2004 as a Standardized/Simulated Patient, and working as a Physical Exam Teaching Associate since 2005. Throughout that time, I have performed and taught at University of Texas McGovern Medical School, Baylor University College of Medicine, Texas A&M EnMed Program, University of Houston College of Medicine, and Texas Children's Hospital, as well as performing in special programs for MD Anderson and the Mass Casualty Training Events for the University of Texas' various medical schools.
Life should be a #beautifuljourney. Come alongside me!
