”Add the depth of Ally Sheedy to, 
the bravado of Catherine Keener
with the pizzazz of Amy Sedaris”

Hello there,

Thanks for stopping by to read a bit about me.

Here's the deal: I first learned how to fight fair growing up in relentless, culturally diverse Queens, NY.  Went to Wesleyan University where I majored in science in between playing basketball and rugby.  Jetted to San Francisco to join the performance art scene, sharing the stage with some of the fiercest folks around.  Then lived in India via the William H. Clinton Fellowship for Service where I worked in HIV prevention while studying Baharata Natyam, classical Indian dance. Came back to NYC and have been rocking stages and screens ever since. Exciting, right? That's how I roll. 

And I've brought that "might challenge you…might embrace you" spirit of daredevil fun into my career. You could have caught me shooting a movie in India while living in a tent (OK, it was a Haveli), starring in a pilot on a lesbian cruise (called "The Lez Boat" no less), performing my original solo shows around the world (my favorite stop: Rome!), or entertaining you in a multitude of commercials probably playing right now in your living room. Stick around for the ride, it's a lot of fun. 

Take a moment to look around this site. Keep up with me by joining my mailing list or Facebook page.
