I was born and raised in New Jersey, wait! Don't go away! I went to NYU for Drama and I’ve been living in the city ever since. Between live shows, film and new media projects, or improv, sketch, and standup comedy, I’ve tried a little of everything. In addition, thanks to some great commercial agents, I’ve done national voiceover and on-camera commercials. I’m always excited to produce original work, write new scripts, and collaborate on projects.
THE LIFE STORY
I started dancing when I was three--ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop, and continued for eight years. My love for the arts grew to include singing and acting, so naturally, musical theater became my obsession. I was in school productions and community theater, highlights include: Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd, Sharpay in High School Musical, and Ms. Hannigan in Annie.
Now I have a BFA in Drama from NYU Tisch, and at the Atlantic Acting School, I took classes in voice, speech, suzuki, script analysis, and more. One semester, I studied Shakespeare in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Finally, I went to Stonestreet Film Studios, where I learned the nuances of acting on camera, developed screenwriting skills, and compiled my first reel.
After graduating, I was in a touring company with the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey called "Shakespeare LIVE!" We condensed Julius Caesar and A Midsummer Night's Dream to an hour each, and brought our shows to hundreds of schools. Then I was cast as an ensemble member in “Macbeth” starring Kenneth Branagh at the Park Avenue Armory.
For a while, I was in Off-Broadway's most irreverent show, “Drunk Shakespeare.” Now I am a teaching artist and a performer with Broadway Murder Mysteries and The Mystery Players. I also do puppet shows for kiddos, and make up songs at “On The Spot,” a musical improv show at Room 52. My sketch comedy troupe called Thank You For Your Cervix, performed at the PIT and UCB. If you still want more, here’s a pilot that I co-produced and starred in, called “Sloppy.”
