About Me

As Raindrop in White People Ruin Everything and Rosalind in Moon Over Buffalo, I found the joy of transforming on stage—inhabiting characters with humor, depth, and vulnerability. My love for acting has taken me from theater to indie film with leading roles in Just Before the End, It Has His Eyes, Bleached, Little Red Riding Hood, Be My Valentine . . . Or Not, and many others.

 

After graduating summa cum laude from Arizona State University, I trained at Juilliard, Lee Strasberg, and the New York Film Academy, where I learned to bring both craft and heart to every role. I especially value the friendships and creativity built with directors, fellow actors, and the crew along the way. With roots in classical piano and a knack for dialects, my work blends precision with spontaneity. Acting is where I feel most alive, most connected, and most myself.
