Actor • Singer• Comedian
Born in Chicago, Minnesota bred, and now proud to call New York City home.
My first love was musicals. In the basement of my hectic home in the suburbs of Chicago, I’d listen to my parent’s records until I could sing every song by heart. It was my solace. Perhaps it was a mistake for me to know about “Gypsy” at a young age. One evening, when my three older brothers were supposed to be watching me, my mom came home from work and drove up the driveway to discover her little four year old, buck naked in the picture window of our living room, belting out “Let me Entertain You!”
I've always loved to entertain. To inspire people to laugh, cry and ponder the big questions. I hold a BA in Theatre and Political Science from Northfield, MN. After graduating from college, I left the “Mini-Apple” for “The Big Apple” to pursue the dream. Within months, I played Ethel Toffelmier in the First National Tour of The Music Man and was in the chorus of The National Tour of Crazy For You.
I am a proud member of AEA and SAG•AFTRA. Some of my favorite NY and regional roles include Elvira in Voice Theatre’s Production of “Blithe Spirit” and Maggie in “The Skin of Our Teeth” In the film industry, I have received many accolades, including winning Best Supporting Actress at the Festival of Cinema NYC and also winning a Craft Award for Acting at the NYU New Visions and Voices Festival.
Currently, you can catch me performing with my indie impov & sketch team: What's Up Doc at The Pit and in various Ross Belsky comedy productions. I am also a company member of Dzieci, an experimental theater group, dedicated to the search for the sacred.
