Bio
I feel fortunate to have a fun career that energizes me and allows me to do creative work with teams of industry professionals. I love dramatic and comedic acting!
I am fortunate to have trained with Howard Fine, David Coury, Larry Moss, and many others.

Since I was a child watching 80s sitcoms on TV, I have been enamored with the magic of acting. Then, as a teenager, I devoured the adorable films by great directors such as Steven Spielberg, John Hughes, Howard Deutch, Cameron Crowe, and Joel Schumacher. As an adult, I continue to discover all the great Hollywood classics, such as Breakfast At Tiffany's, Casa Blanca, The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain, Double Indemnity, Meet Me in Saint Louis, Roman Holiday, Heller - In Pink Tights, and Barbarella. I admire so many Hollywood actresses for their unique contributions to film: Sophia Loren, Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Helen Murren, Jennifer Connelly, and Helena Bonham Carter for their depth and range. Even when I worked behind the scenes on the Paramount Studio lot, I did not let myself dream of being an actress. It took three years of voice acting classes to show me where I truly belonged and a lifetime to discover what I was naturally good at.
My true love is improv and sketch comedy. After taking more than a dozen courses at the National Comedy Theatre in San Diego and the Oceanside Theatre Company, I was hooked. I fell in love with improv. It feels the most natural for me to be on the stage - the freedom, the creativity, the camaraderie, and the laughs.
Now find me at the LA Connection Theater in Burbank, CA! I am part of an improv team performing a monthly Saturday night show at 6pm!
My comedic heroes are:
Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, Reece Wetherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, and Courtney Cox. My favorite TV shows include Palm Royale, Ghosts, Reba, Loot, Kim's Convenience, the Night Court reboot, and the Frazier reboot. More than anything, I am a forever fan of "Friends".
Theater has been my most recent calling. ​
I performed in "Miracle on 34th Street," Directed by Stephen Gomer, at the Camino Real Theater in San Juan Capistrano.
The holiday play is an adaptation of the 1947 movie, and it is filled with heartwarming comedy, love, and faith in one another.
Portraying Mrs. Macy and other characters in this play has stirred my love of community theater to new heights!
Recently cast in "Miracle Worker - Helen Keller Story" as Virginia at the Cabrillo Playhouse. Directed by Abigail Cox. Shows will run from June 6 - June 29th.
Thank you to all the teachers, acting coaches, and Actors' Memoires (Shirley MacLaine, Patrick Stewart, Uta Hagen) who inspired me and led me gently into my career.
I look forward to working with you on your creative project, &
I look forward to sharing the new joys of my acting career in 2025!
