Growing up in northern California, my passion for acting
was ignited as a young girl alongside my best friend. Together
we created original stories, characters, costumes and sets
which we performed for the neighborhood on her garage rooftop. The joy and magic of my childhood memory launched my return to acting 10 years ago in New York City.
With a determination to establish a strong craft, my studies
have included The Stella Adler Studio NYC, School for Film and Television, Meisner Technique at SUNY Purchase and the Penny Templeton Studio. In Los Angeles, I continued my
studies with Larry Moss, Patsy Rodenburg (Shakespeare &
Voice), Chris Game (Commercials), Paul Kampf and most
recently at the Westside Comedy Theatre.
Throughout my professional career, I've played a wide
range of dramatic and comedic characters in Film, TV and on
Stage. My most rewarding performances were through
characters acquiring the inner strength and courage to overcome the most unbeatable odds in their deeply personal transformational stories.
Some of these characters for Film & Television
credits include: Beatrice in You are a Butterfly, a
bank executive who falls in love with her boss, a
kindred spirit who shares her secret passion
for poetry; Sacrifice, as Sam who lived a
double life as a private investigator by day
and exotic dancer by night; Your Honor, Judge
Mona Jenkins, a stern no nonsense judge who
becomes the love interest of an unruly defendant;
Vince & the Barnacles, Celeste, a high-powered
career woman driven to reach her financial earning potential at all costs;
| You Fit the Description, Karen, a tough, hard-edged P.I. pursuing truth and justice in a racial crime, Taking Your Chances, Catherine, caught in a torrid romance conflicted between following her heart or her head; and Meg’s Rings, a free spirited mother, dealing with the guilt of leaving her daughter and marriage behind for another man. Additional TV credits include: Guiding Light, Sex and the City, New York Undercover, and FX Breakfast Time. |

On Stage, off-Broadway performances include: Beckett,
Chekhov,
Durang, Gorky, Shakespeare and original plays. Coming to Los Angeles, my first stage debut was in the hit show The Night of The Black Cat, a French Cabaret Musical, playing Gigi at the Edgemar Theatre for the Arts in Santa Monica. Originally joining the production as an Associate Producer, my character inspiration of Gigi, a timid insecure bar maid with a dream of tap dancing in the Cabaret, was added to the show two weeks prior to opening. The show had three successful extensions with a nine-month run.
Later, attained the rights to produce the Tony nominated play
Frozen, at the Elephant Theatre in Hollywood; played the role
of Agnetha, an American Psychiatrist, who travels to England to
present her case study of Ralph Ian Wantage, a serial killer and
pedophile. This production was reviewed and recommended by
the LA Times, LA Weekly, The Santa Monica Daily Press and LA
Cityzine.
As an artist, it is my passion to seek collaborations on comedic and dramatic projects with powerfully rich storylines that deeply touch and
enliven the human heart.
