Hi! I'm an actor/director who is a new works enthusiast -- I love being part of the development of new works on both stage (plays & musicals) and screen (TV & film). I'm also an experienced audiobook narrator and voice actor, and occasionally a hand model. I'm based in NYC and have a Grammy Nomination for Musical Theater!

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, where I played a lot of violin as a kid and then got more into school choir and drama as a teen.
I went to Rice University, where I majored in Asian Studies (Chinese History, Culture and Language, magna cum laude) and also studied Vocal Performance (Opera Performance) at Rice University's prestigious Shepherd School of Music; I also began to act and model professionally in the Houston area.
Seeking a "practical" career in the arts, I then went to the UC Berkeley School of Law and began to work in entertainment law in the Bay Area.
However, I was still drawn to performing and continued to act and model on the side; after attaining membership in AEA & SAG-AFTRA (professional arts unions), I left law and decided to finally pursue a career in the arts.
I went back to school (again) for a Master's Degree in Musical Theater from The Boston Conservatory (at Berklee), while also acting and modeling in the Boston area.
After obtaining professional representation from the "BoCo" graduation showcase, I moved to NYC and began auditioning. Over the past few years, I've been steadily climbing the industry ladder, and am having the time of my life acting, singing and (more recently) directing!
I still play the violin every now and then.

I also love cooking and restaurants and all things food-related. My dream job might actually be hosting or judging a cooking/food show? Won't know until I get to try it!
