An artist who explores the duality of the "power within the feminine" and the "vulnerability within the masculine" | SAG-AFTRA actor with a sharp wit & a magnetic edge—think gritty Yellowstone wife meets powerhouse DOJ attorney. Classically-trained w/an MFA from Bristol Old Vic in England. Credits include Westworld, Forever, & leading Shakespeare roles (Beatrice, Queen Elizabeth). Castable as the cyber-detective, power-hungry period piece queen, or the woman who will conquer you in a boardroom—or a bar fight
