Piper smiling at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

Piper is a Santa Clara University alumna, c/o 2016. There, she earned her Bachelor of Arts Degrees in Theatre Arts with a Dance Emphasis and in English with a Technical Writing Concentration. Upon graduation, she earned the Gracelyn Rillorta Bateman Inclusive Excellence Award by the president of SCU for her work with the LGBTQ+ community on campus. She was also granted the Anna Halprin Award for excellence in choreography, performance, and the stewardship of the art of dance.

Piper now resides in Oakland, CA/unceded land of the Ohlone people. She feels grateful to live in a place with such a rich history and sense of community among those who want to preserve Oakland as the diverse, cultural hub that it is. Piper chose to reside in the East Bay rather than SF Bay because she feels the art that comes out of the East Bay (especially Oakland) has a depth and honesty that is resounding and inspiring--she is grateful to be contributing to such a legacy.
