COMING TO THEATERS NEAR YOU
Actor. WRITER. PRODUCER.
hey :)
Actor-heart, writer-brain, and producer-intuition— I fell in love with storytelling the moment I realized I could perform ANYTHING to convince my parents to let me sleepover at my cousin's place.
Cut to a few years later, and I'm an NYU Tisch graduate with a BFA in Drama. I've performed in everything from mainstage productions to festival-winning films, while writing plays, short films, and stand-up. Along the way, I also discovered producing - learning under Cannes-winning producer Kajri Akhtar and producing my own work - because I realized it's the fastest way to start making things happen. I'm incredibly passionate about original work, making the unconventional choice, and creating things my 12 year old brother will think is cool (tough crowd).
All in all, if you need a risk-taker who lands on her feet — I'm your girl :)
