About Me

    When I was six years old, long before the era of non-traditional casting,

my mom took me to see my first professional production - "Oliver." At intermission I turned to her and said, “Why are all the orphans boys?! I want to play an orphan!” And so it began.

     I spent my childhood memorizing, Broadway cast albums and watching movie musicals. My first role was the lead in the 3rd grade play about tooth decay. I'm pretty sure I got the part because I was the only kid who could be heard at the back of the classroom. Years later I was fortunate to train at Trinity Rep Conservatory with phenomenal acting, directing, voice, movement, and dance teachers. 

    After drama school I worked in NY and LA. A move to DC, for love, brought me to a remarkably talented community of actors and produced some of my proudest theatrical experiences. I am also honored to have worked with some extraordinary directors and casts at regional theaters including NJT in St. Louis and The Warehouse Theatre in Greenville.  

    Based in DC, I'm blessed to go where opportunities take me and am grateful to work with talented and devoted theatremakers, filmmakers, and VO producers around the country.
