“The face you trust – the character you never see coming”

I’m a lifelong performer, whose work has spanned dance, stage, live events, film, television, modeling, and voice over.

How should you cast me? I play many roles because my life experiences run deep: martial artist, realtor, standardized patient, marketing professional, theatre director, explorer, animal & nature lover, wife & devoted dog mom. Fueled by curiosity & resilience , I bring a wealth of real-world experience to every role!

At first glance I’m the friend you trust, the neighbor next door, the woman who puts everyone at ease. But look closer and you might find a wife with a dangerous secret, the manipulator behind the smile, or the mystery no one saw coming.

My work has taken me from the drunken party performer in Servant to a mysterious entity in True, from a serious-yet-comedic therapist in Emotional Support Animals to a tortured mother in Incubation.
