I am an Equity actress, singer, and writer who has been proud to call New York City home for the past 10+ years. I recently earned my MFA in Acting from Florida Atlantic University, and have now returned to live in NYC full time (with local housing available to me in both South Florida and Northern California in addition to the NY Tri-State area).

In New York, I have studied the Meisner Technique with James Brill at the Neighborhood Playhouse, Acting for the Camera with Amy Russ (MN Studios) and Maury Ginsburg, Improvisation at the Magnet Theatre and Upright Citizens Brigade, and Voice (Singing) with Matthew Lee Robinson. As part of my MFA, I received training in dialects/accents ranging from Northern Irish to German to British (RP, general London, and Cockney), and others. I also received training in Voice Over acting with Karen-Eileen Gordon and Paul Liberti.

I am SAFD certified with a recommended pass in Unarmed stage combat, with additional training and extensive experience in Broadsword, “Single Sword”, and Rapier and Dagger. I am also a strong mover (as they say in the Musical Theatre world) with training in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, and Irish Step Dance.

I am classically trained in Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen, Commedia dell’arte and Restoration comedy, with a particular passion for (and considerable experience in) farce and physical comedy.

Beyond my training, I have substantial experience acting professionally onstage–some favorite past roles include Varya in The Cherry Orchard, Lysistrata/Myrrhina in Lysistrata, and Ms. Frizzle in the national tour of The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System. Recent on-camera credits include lead roles in the streaming series Texting the Ex and a branded web content commercial with Monarch Kaleidoscope.

I have consistently been told that I am “the person everyone wants on their team”, and that I am a consummate professional whom directors would gladly hire again.

As a writer, I have several exciting projects in the works in addition to my existing portfolio of self-produced and unproduced sketches and web series (several of which can be found on Youtube). My first original play, Gamma Delta Nasty, premiered as part of New York Theatre Festival’s Winterfest in 2018.

I am passionate about the power of collaborative art to change human lives for the better – and also about world travel, cinnamon rolls, my family and friends, my cats, and the San Francisco Giants.

Absolutely everything I do is screaming: ‘You are not alone! Also, I love you! That’s right: I love you. Deal with it, dude!!!’ (Yes, I’m from California, so my inner monologue frequently addresses people as ‘dude’).

I believe that we ALL contain worlds inside of us—endless possibilities for the person we might be or become at any given moment. I am specifically interested in exploring as many of the worlds inside of me as I can, boldly and truthfully, in depth and with presence in each and every moment that I encounter.

Sincerity is my superpower.

Oh—I also like to have a good time! Catch me spreading (wholesome) mischief onstage/onscreen/offscreen/backstage/at-a-food-court-in-a-mall-near-you. 🫶
