Actor. Singer. Maker.

About Me

I am an NYC based actor and artist who is passionate about heightened language stories that explore identity and inheritance. My favorite theater is impolite, infused with love, and often a kind of orchestrated chaos in pursuit of truth.

I moved to New York City to attend Fordham University's Theatre Program where I received a BA in Acting. I also had the opportunity to spend a semester at The Moscow Art Theatre through the National Theatre Institute and a summer in Berlin studying devised theatre through Bard College.

I've had the pleasure of performing at Utah Shakespeare Festival, Shakespeare on the Sound, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, The Metropolitan Opera House, Eugene O’Neill Cabaret Conference, Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival, The Fresh Fruit Festival, Feast Under St. Marks and been apart of various projects in development.
