actor. filmmaker. voice artist.
I'm a New-York based professional actor and independent filmmaker.
Additional roots in Boston and Southern California.
My career began in regional theatre where I've worked on a variety of classical and contemporary pieces, new play workshops, improv and cabaret performances. My body of work has since extended to filmmaking where i've discovered a love for writing and/or directing.
In addition to acting, I am a classically trained singer and voice actor.
I decided to relocate to New York City in 2021 to deepen my craft of acting at The William Esper Studio; intensely focusing on the Meisner Technique for several years. During this time I took a break from performing. Upon graduating from Esper in June 2023, you'll find me putting my technique into practice.

Mel has gotten her heart broken for the first time. As she struggles to process this, she begins to lean on her friends and listen to herself in ways she never has before. Metamorphosis explores an intimate look into those micro transformations that we all go through, if we only slow down enough to look.
