About
I came back to acting after having my first child. At a time when everything was in flux - body, identity, creative potential - acting provided a way to reconnect with an earlier version of self. Since then I’ve had another child and still at the grind.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I attended an all-girls school and played a range of male roles on stage including Perchik (Fiddler on the Roof), Tin Man (The Wiz), and Dr. Dorn (The Seagull). While I was thrilled to FINALLY be cast in female roles in college at Georgetown, including Girl/Horse in a House of Illusions (The Balcony), and Ursula (Much Ado About Nothing), those early years in drag were foundational.
My On-Camera training includes study with Julia Crockett and Janine DiTullio at Kimball Studio, Christy Faison and Jamie Rudofsky at Village Acting Studio, in addition to UCB Improv and Movement. I am a photographer and Spanish professor at a Catholic college in Connecticut, in the time I’m not auditioning, gardening, and full time mom-ing
My guiding principle in acting is poorly paraphrased from Amy Poehler: to get out of my head and into the parade. Because it’s gonna pass you by.
