I grew up on both coasts as a Navy kid, spending most of my formative years in New England. I’ve worked as an actor, voiceover artist, and educator based in New York City for 20+ years. I got bit by the theatre bug as a fresh-faced 15-year old, at the moment that face got hit with a pie onstage during my first show. After the whip cream dripped off, I never looked back. I graduated with a B.A. in theatre from Mount Holyoke College, cut my teeth as an artist in one-week stock working on three plays a day, received additional training at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford, and my MFA in Acting from Brooklyn College, where I also studied dramaturgy and directing and began work as a Teaching Artist. I’ve experienced firsthand the transformative power of the Theatre and its stories, and knowing I wanted to share that, I’ve built a parallel career doing just so.

My work continues to grow me in every direction everyday, and my own studies continue. Currently, as a member of the Actors’ Gym, NY, I study with Bobby Moresco and am an acting/directing member of The Drilling Company, producer of the beloved NYC tradition, Shakespeare in the Parking Lot, where I continue to perform and direct frequently. When I’m not creating or facilitating the creative work of others, one of my all-time favorite roles is as Turtle Mom to little Rosencrantz, and spending time with my human family members too. And you can often find me in nature, perhaps our greatest teacher.

We never know where our work can take us or what ripples will form; for example, some Shakespeare tidbits: Here’s an interview I did as director of All’s Well That Ends Well in 2017. And my performance as Queen Gertrude, an “alcoholic party girl" according to The New York Times, in a production of Hamlet directed by Hamilton Clancy that focused on family disfunction, is discussed in a fascinating article by a Harvard Shakespearean scholar in a paper published in 2022.
