Full Bio
I'm an Actor/Producer newly based in Atlanta after a long stint in NYC. I started acting at the age of 8 when I joined a Shakespeare troupe that was run by a pair of psychologists in my hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. I kept acting through high school, and moved to NYC to pursue my career and study acting at Columbia University, where I trained with Juilliard professors and earned my BA in Theatre with a Minor in Dance in three years.
My acting type is the sunshiny flirt who always understands the assignment. Think of me as a brunette Reese Witherspoon, or a Type-A cross between Amelie and Fleabag.
I have modern sensibilities combined with vintage looks, so as you can imagine I've done a lot of period pieces, including the upcoming season of THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL set in the early 1960s, Steven Soderbergh's THE KNICK set in 1900, the Off-Broadway hit SLEEP NO MORE set in 1939, the 1940s pilot O.S.S. directed by Jonathan Frakes of STAR TREK fame, and an indie feature called ASK FOR JANE.
