Peer Advisor

Jenny Layton

Hometown: Corbett, Oregon

Major: Theatre Arts

Minor: Psychology

Campus Activities: My involvement in the Linfield Theatre Department includes work as an actor, designer, stage manager, student production coordinator, run crew member, publicity team member, and various other roles.

Hobbies: I spend most of my time in the theatre. All aspects of the theatrical world fascinate me and that curiosity for the discipline occupies most of my time. I am definitely one of those people who likes to do it all.

Favorite People: I often look to other actors for inspiration. Lucille Ball is the woman who got me interested in acting. I think Audrey Hepburn is a classic beauty and a wonderful role model. I can only dream of ever encountering Meryl Streep. But my very favorite people are the ones I know personally and am lucky enough to work with. My boss, my peers, and my professors are some of my absolute favorite people.

Favorite Quote: "When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece."
