RESUME

a little about me!

I started performing right in my living room... but with a lights and camera crew! Lights up on a local reality show called "The It Moms" on Better TV that featured my family for a few years. I soon upgraded to my driveway, belting Best of Both Worlds on top of a recycling bin for an audience of very tolerant neighbors (loyal fans). Since then, I’ve been chasing work that’s messy, honest, and alive.I graduated from Hofstra University with a BFA in Theatre Arts (Performance) and a Minor in Musical Theatre, and over the years, I’ve played everything from quirky, big-hearted caterers to women on the edge of reinvention, to flirty Shakespearean loudmouths and sweet but stubborn farm girls. Every role has called on something different: comedic timing, vocal agility, classical grounding, or just plain emotional guts, and I try to meet each one with curiosity and a grounded sense of play.I also write my own music! Lyric driven songs that hold my heart and hopefully make people feel a little less alone. Songwriting has become a space where I can process, connect, and create something that feels honest to me.I’m drawn to characters who are emotional, messy, too big, too weird, and too much!! I bring care, curiosity, and just a little bite into every room I walk into.
