Full Bio
I believe that sharing personal stories is the best way to empathize and get along with each other. I take storytelling seriously. Myself not as much.

Re: Directing, I'm the creator of project:girl, a film series inspired by true stories of girlhood, working to eliminate shame surrounding the female experience. We've been featured in the Huffington Post, HOWL Mag, Babesfest, and were an official selection at HBO's ITVFest 2017

Re: Acting, you can catch me on TV on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, God Friended Me, Law & Order: SVU, FBI, & The Village, in film opposite Robert DeNiro in The Comedian and as the award-winning lead in the independent feature Honeybee, out on Amazon & iTunes. On stage, I received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for my role as Ivy in the World Premiere of The Year of the Solar Eclipse at LATEA Theater this past summer and originated Jenny in the Clurman Theater production of Implications of Cohabitation. My training includes Anthony Abeson, Bob Krakower, Upright Citizens Brigade, The Barrow Group, and LAByrinth Theater Company.

Re: Songwriting, I won Best Original Music for my song in the off-Broadway production of The Year of the Solar Eclipse. My music is my diary and I play all around New York. I'm currently producing my first EP.
