AEA / SAG-AFTRA

Born and raised in Berkeley, CA, I made my theatrical debut at age 4 in the Cal Shakes production of ROMEO & JULIET and my lifelong love for the theatre was born.  After receiving a BFA in Acting from Carnegie Mellon University, I moved to NYC and was cast in Broadway's WEST SIDE STORY playing tomboy, "Anybodys".  In 2010 I relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in TV/Film as well as theatre.  I worked at various theaters on the West Coast as a performer, a choreographer, and a director, and in 2017 I booked a guest star on NCIS: LA. Hungry for a return to classical theatre, I attended the Shakespeare Theatre Company's Academy for Classical Acting in residence at George Washington University, earning an MFA in Classical Acting.  Since graduating, I’ve performed at Signature Theatre, Arena Stage, the Shakespeare Theatre company, and choreographed at the Folger Theatre. I’'m currently the Theatre Director and Arts Faculty at the Madeira School in McLean, VA, and I look forward to an artistically robust future as a performer, director, and educator.

• My most recent projects include directing Shakespearre's MACBETH, LOST GIRL by Kimberly Belflower, directing and choreographing Disney's NEWSIES and ROCK OF AGES, teaching multiple classes including acting techniques and styles, physical theatre, directing, audition techniques, public speaking, and more. 

• RED VELVET at the Shakespeare Theatre Company was a beautiful show, and I am so proud to have been a part of that excellent cast.  We survived a covid outbreak, as well as set and facility issues, and I only wish we could have shared the amazing story of Ira Aldridge with more people.
