I am a Waspy character actress with a comedic flair and a penchant for Tennessee Williams. Theatrically trained but equally at home in front of the camera, I portray socialites, senators and flighty eccentrics with ease. My short piece "Dream Deferred" recently was selected by Emerging Artists Theatre's Spark Festival NYC (2025) as one of the new works showcased from a submission pool of over 500 entries. It is now being developed into a one-woman show entitled "The Cat Lady's Daughter." I am NYC based.
