After taking 15 years off from performing to raise a child and run a yoga studio, The Tempest marks my official return to acting. I’ve worked in Off-off-Broadway and academic theatre, as well as improv and stand-up comedy. I’ve written several plays, including Pause, which was produced in Napa Valley’s Lucky Penny 2021 Play-Demic Festival. I hold a MFA in Dramaturgy and taught Theatre Arts at SUNY Stony Brook. I currently live with my family in Pasadena and train at The Acting Center (TAC) in Sherman Oaks.
