Past performances:
Malinda was grateful to perform in Greenbrier Valley Theatre‘s production of Pride and Prejudice in West Virginia! During the fall of 2021, Malinda performed as Lydia and Lady Catherine – two polar opposites. (If you ever questioned Malinda’s range, here’s reason to never again. )
Malinda joined four ladies and a powerhouse director Robyne Parrish in her first virtual zoom reading since the world went virtual. Her role as Janice Vickery in The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds, was a light feather dance in a volcanic lava oasis. And yes, the description is a metaphor- but the play was anything but. An unrealized gem and incredibly moving production, she was elated to bring this piece to digital life.
On a special Two for Tuesday in April 2021, Malinda appeared in CBS’s FBI “Checks and Balances” and NBC’s New Amsterdam “Why Not Yesterday” episodes. Can you guess the roles she played? More importantly, did you see the episodes? If not, catch them streaming or your dvr.
In 2020, Malinda was incredibly blessed to participate in a commercial for Lavazza coffee and an Oxygen limited series of murder – Monster Preacher.
Malinda performed in a staged reading of American Scoreboard at HB Playwrights Theatre on November 20th and 21st, as a state representative reading a Testimony from the US House Committee on Oversight and Reform – The Need for Leadership to Combat Climate Change. *American Scoreboard is a series that brings together art and politics, shining a light on topics facing the current administration and the American people.* Malinda is proud to reflect, expose, and make history.

Thank you so much AMC Network for the opportunity to be apart of Dispatches From Elsewhere with Jason Segel, Sally Field, Richard Grant, and Andre 3000.
Did you ever think Malinda would make a great spokesperson or trainer… Well, over the summer months, Malinda performed in two industrials! 1) The Business of Retail and 2) Sexual Education app …More to come when they have been released to the public…
During the first 3 weekends in May, Malinda is got classical! As the Poet and four other characters, Malinda flexed those acting chops in Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton. Timon of Athens is one of Shakespeare’s in-between, forgotten plays… not completely a tragedy and not a comedy. But Malinda always knows how to find the funny.
Malinda’s TV debut premiered in February 2019. Check her out as she stars as Felecia in Evil Lives Here on Investigation Discovery: Season 5 Episode 7 “I Was His First Victim”. Stream it online here!

In November 2018, Malinda was busy with print ads. Her fav?? Storm!
