Hello hello - I'm a stage & screen actor who splits time between Boston & NYC. I first wanted to act in sixth grade when I realized I wasn't particularly good at anything, but I was quite good at pretending that I was. My first stage credit was an unlicensed spoof of Annie called Frannie where I played Turkey - get it? Woof. The rest is history. From utter oddballs to lovable saps to complete jerks (see resumé), I'm fully committed to unearthing any character I play (see reviews). I'm always on the lookout for quirky parts, new scripts and collaborations with preferably weird but delightful people.
I have a BFA in acting from Boston University & I'm a proud member of SAG-AFTRA & Actor's Equity. My New England agent is Maggie Inc. and my hope is to find representation outside of the region for audition opportunities in other markets.
