Kelli Medina

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois, where I discovered my passion for acting! I love to work with others in many forms, and whether that's collaborating on a production or exploring character interpretations, I am grateful for any opportunity that comes my way.

My experience with acting began during my late high school years and developed significantly in college. In college, I spent an overwhelming amount of time in casual open reads of all sorts of plays, and eventually found myself drawn to the university's Shakespeare group during my last year.

I had the incredible opportunity of performing as Volumnia in the group's 2024 production of Coriolanus, Lady Macbeth in Macbeth in 2025, and Count Rugen in Princess Bride in 2024. Although I am relatively new to acting, I have an immense passion for it to the point where I cannot keep myself away. I am an avid learner and am obsessed with improving my acting, engaging with others, and arguing about interpretations of lines.
