About Me:
The first thing anyone ever said to me about my acting was that I was versatile — and decades later, that word still fits. I've been working consistently across screen, stage, and voice over for over 19 years, from Off-Broadway and national tours to HBO, Lifetime, NBC, ABC, and Hulu. I love that no two jobs look the same.
A graduate of James Madison University, I've played leading roles across a pretty wide range — the psychological intensity of Hedda Gabler, the dark drama of The Duchess of Malfi, and Monkey Number 2 in the world premiere of Five Little Monkeys, which I approached with the exact same commitment. My screen work spans premium cable and broadcast television, and I keep busy with voice over for both commercial and narrative projects.
Away from set, I care a lot about the acting community. I founded the Mid-Atlantic Screen Artists Forum to give regional actors a real place to connect, share resources, and build their careers outside the major markets. I also host the Standardized Patients Podcast, which digs into the fascinating overlap between performance and medical education — specifically, the actors who help train the next generation of doctors.
I'm also a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor. Staying physically engaged keeps me sharp, and it genuinely feeds my work as a performer.
I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but grew up mostly in McLean, Virginia. In between, my family lived in Paris for my middle school years.
One more thing: I have grapheme-color synesthesia, which means every letter, number, and word has its own distinct color in my mind. It's just part of how I experience language — and it makes working with a script pretty interesting.
