As a Jersey born-Florida bred gal (a very popular combination - I’m sure you’ve met one of us), I have always had the best of both worlds. That didn’t stop me from attending school in Ohio, though. Among other things, this relocation made me appreciate a good corn maze. Who knew?

I graduated from Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, where I earned my BFA in acting and minor in film studies, and also studied directing. I spent my final semester interning under New York casting director Michael Cassara while reconnecting with the Jersey girl that resides in my heart.

Most recently, I closed Doubt at the Florida Repertory Theatre in Fort Myers, and began post-production for an original comedy short film I conceived called RENT-A-RESCUE. Since graduating, I’ve fostered lasting connections here in the city by ways of readings, classes, and theatregoing, and always find myself with something to dig into.

You can find me in the city at Culture Espresso with a hefty chocolate chip cookie, working on an original short film, perusing scripts at The Drama Book Shop, or chatting the ears off of strangers on the subway.

Local hire in New York City, Chicago, Central/South Florida, and South Jersey.
