I'm a professional actor/singer based in NYC - but you probably aleady knew that. I'm the gal who always goes after what she wants with fervor -- be it an intellectually stimulating career, idealized romance that makes me swoon, or the perfect slice of pizza. I love to laugh, and I poke fun at myself on a regular basis. I have been known to ask for a side of cheese-whiz to accompany otherwise healthy food. I think everything tastes a little better with hot sauce. And bacon. But if I had to choose, I'd take acting over bacon...any day of the week.

My main focus is on intimate musicals, independent film and compelling plays. I adore relationship-driven projects that explore what it means to "be" with others. I come alive when I get a chance to explore the soft underbelly of the human experience. I bring a sort of charming neuroticism to my work that makes you root for the character - a little too uptight for my own good but infectiously optimistic about what's in store.

My first love is telling a story through song, and a live audience is just about the best thing on the planet. But on-camera work also provides a magical and intimate conversation with the audience (and you get to share it over and over!) Luckily, I have been able to bounce back and forth between stage and screen -- and am humbled to have been in deep collaboration with writers, directors composers, and filmmakers in both worlds.
