About Me

I traffic in innocence, vibrancy, quirk and joy.

My favorite roles include a homeless woman with fashion sense, a wacky chainsaw wielding network executive and Ginni Thomas. I have an “in my own universe” quality.

Comedy is my wheelhouse. I performed opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the film “You Hurt My Feelings” and Ziwe on her Showtime variety show. I’ve done tons of Standup and Improv with an emphasis on original characters.

And I create Solo Shows. My current piece, “Em-PATHETIC”, follows a medical actor searching for empathy in the healthcare system. “Em-PATHETIC” won Best Short Solo Show at the Marsh International Solo Festival. I performed it at Emerging Artists Theatre’s New Work Series and SoloCom.
