Electronic Press Kit

I’m a SAG-AFTRA actor originally from upstate NY. My hometown was tiny but my dreams are huge, so I moved to NYC to start my acting career, then took a scenic detour to study holistic health, which has served me well by inspiring me to reignite my calling as an actor in a grounded, intuitive way. I currently work local hire in both NYC and the Pittsburgh/Ohio market.

Roles in my wheelhouse are a plucky nurse who uncovers a mystery and does everything she can to solve it, a nervous crime victim who is haunted by her past but perseveres to overcome it, or a sincere mom of young kids who encourages them to be their best selves.

I also am a writer-filmmaker, and my debut short “Lydia Rising” was accepted at 3 film festivals and screened at an OmniMax theater. I currently have a feature, dramedy pilot, and another short in the works.

The following clips may give you a sense of me and my work. Thanks for stopping by!
