In her own words...
An East Coast Girl
I grew up in Massachusetts where I studied piano, dance and singing, but I also played soccer. Growing up with musical parents, I loved music and the arts- I was surrounded by it. I also was involved with different school groups: having a passion for helping others, being a leader and organizing; whether it was my trapper-keeper growing up or my NYC apartment. I also love seeking out all sorts of thrills like sky-diving, zip-lining and roller-coasters.
A True New Yorker
I graduated from Shenandoah Conservatory in 2008, and after 11 years in the city, I am now an official New Yorker. I live in Astoria with my passionate and loving actor husband, whom I met when I first moved. When I am not performing, you can find me at a local coffee shop, working out or spending time with my amazing support system of friends.
I have found a new love for the camera after studying TV/Film in a fabulous class by Heidi Marshall. I have truly found an amazing group of teachers: acting, singing, TV/Film, coaches...a real TEAM, that has transformed me as an actor and a person and I'm so grateful.
