ABOUT

I’ve been described by friends as human funfetti.

I've always been obsessed with playing pretend. My parents realized they had a performer on their hands when I was 5 years old. After leaving me with my babysitter, they came home to a fully fledged photoshoot we had created. Clearly, I was serving from a young age.

Growing up 40 minutes north of Manhattan, my eyes have always been set on New York City - both literally and figuratively. I came to New York to attend NYU Tisch, studying drama at Playwrights Horizons Theater School and Atlantic Acting School. There, I developed my love for strange, humorous, and offbeat storytelling. I’m passionate about telling intergenerational stories, creating queer art, and uplifting mental health advocacy. 

When I'm not acting, you will likely find me practicing yoga, sipping yerba mate, or obsessing over Mac Miller’s discography.
