When I’m not acting, I’m likely writing, biking, dancing or cooking meals for my friends and family.
I’m a glutton for global culture and have traveled to all but one continent, my favorite place to escape however to is my family cabin in the Adirondacks where I find solace to write and enter the wilds of nature and my imagination on paper.
Brooklyn is where I call home, and where I’ve grown into what casting offices have described as: a funny, smart mouthed know-it-all who can also be fiercely maternal, and emotionally vulnerable at the drop of a pin. My favorite adjective to describe my work though is truthful, as I bring truth to every role I embody.
