About.

I enjoy wearing many creative hats. I am an actor, writer, director, and teacher. Hollywood called me from Dallas at the mature age of 15…my parents were very supportive yet naive. Thankfully, I was a good kid who was lucky enough to land wonderful agents who protected me from the perils of the industry. My first acting role was a guest star as a mean girl on one of America’s most popular shows, Sister, Sister. From there, I starred on other hit shows like Party of Five, Moesha, Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper, and even experienced the fast-paced world of soap operas on General Hospital. During the early 2000s, I started directing and dove headfirst into a hit production of Fiddler on the Roof in the small college town of Hamilton, NY (my time there was exciting and weird and deserves its own paragraph in a different bio).

After my first experience directing, I caught that bug and moved to New York City. It was in NY where I wrote and performed my first solo show, Baby Cow, in FringeNYC which led to a carved out niche in the solo world. In addition to being a performer, I became the go-to director for solo shows and have personally fostered over 60 shows as a teacher of the craft. My second solo show, Such Nice Shoes, had several sold out NYC runs at the beautiful and prestigious white box space of TheaterLab. I also teach playwriting and screenwriting in the MFA program at Wilkes University where I met and have recently partnered with author and scholar Jessica Goudeau on our new podcast, The Beautiful and Banned. If you don’t catch me on the stage, in a classroom, or on your headphones talking about banned books, you can always see me on BULL (CBS), For Life (ABC), Blue Bloods (CBS), starring opposite Jim Parsons as Nurse Ruth in the Michael Showalter film, Spoiler Alert, and as the new face of Lubriderm. Stay moisturized, people!

The final hat I don is of the culinary kind. My famous line of sweet and savory cookies is all the rage…amongst a few followers. Check out the new @savouriesnyc account on Insta and get your mouth watering. Rosemary cookies anyone?
