I originally hail from just outside of Boston, MA where I obtained my BFA from Boston University! I am easily won over by a divinely beautiful harmony or warm cookie & will always have a good book on hand/wise words of advice to offer in the form of Rihanna song lyrics! When I’m not performing, I volunteer with an organization that fights to decriminalize victims of violence, write/perform spoken word poetry, and lift really heavy weights.

I am passionate about working on stories centered around a diverse ensemble of female voices, projects that utilize music and heightened language, and collaborating on new work across mediums. I love playing characters who use dark humor to mask their vulnerability and any movement-based/athletic storytelling lights me up!

I’m currently splitting time between the New York and Atlanta markets, studying with Risa Bramon Garcia via the BGB Studio, and teaching young professional artists at SOCAPA!
