I've been told I'm a young feisty Marissa Tomei mixed with a relentless Emmy Rossum, served straight up with a twist of the charming Reese Witherspoon!

I am working in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.  Check out my most recent work!
 
I am excited about work that challenges the mind, body, and spirit of a community through language and movement. I jump in with both feet ready to play!
 
Whether on a film set, a commercial shoot, or a stage, I have proven myself to be a strong leader, a reliable teammate, and a ball of energy!

I graduated from James Madison University with honors receiving my B.A. in Theatre Performance. If I am not working on a project, I'm probably enjoying the outdoors or cooking up a delicious new invention! I love to take risks—both in the kitchen and on the stage!

Let's play!

Check out my modeling work here!
