ABOUT

I'm a Virginia-based, Equity, SAG-eligible actor, with burgeoning interests in directing and producing and a background in both contemporary and classical theater work.

​

I love: the intersection of tragedy and comedy; English and ancient Greek literature; philosophy and the history of ideas; food cultures around the world; developmental psychology; formal rhetoric and debate; queer storytelling; and new play development.

​

I hold an M.F.A. from The Shakespeare Theatre Company and am a graduate of The Studio Acting Conservatory and The University of Virginia. I'm also a sometime-writer with a background in magazine journalism; I've written for several national publications and hope to grow my small body of playwriting work.

​

As a kid and teen, I trained for ten years in classical ballet, performing professionally with The Richmond Ballet in Richmond, VA. I was a dancer at birth—to quote T. Rex, I danced myself right out the womb.
