A lover of life and performance, I'm an actor and singer who can't imagine ever retiring from life on the screen and stage. Trained at the Maryland Opera Studio, based on Staniskavski's famed studio in connection with the Bolshoi Theatre, I love acting on camera and onstage. Our film Stealing Zen (screenwriter, lead actress) won a gold Remi Award at Houston-Worldfest and has enjoyed a wonderful festival run from Durango to Cardiff and some amazing places in between. The Washington Post gave me one of my favorite compliments when they called me a "hotblooded and sensuous" Mary Boleyn, my favorite role is Nellie in South Pacific, and I'm happily infamous for my exciting performance in Sarah Small's Tableau Vivant of the Delirium Constructions Film. I'm so grateful for my talk show, The Peace of Persistence, which introduced me to some incredible people who are extremely satisfied with life and have had some success. A dreamer at heart, I love stargazing, writing, daring myself to try new things and embrace change, growing beautiful greenery in my apartment and dancing with friends.

My Mission

I strive to live each day to the fullest, participating in and creating meaningful works of art and media that make people think, lift up their spirits, or impact the world in unexpected ways.
