"IT'S A HELLUVA START, BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY." - LUCILLE BALL
I am a New York born actress, singer, writer, lyricist, fitness model, and dancer. I found my love for all things acting extremely young and could truly never envision myself doing anything else with my life. I began by doing musicals at a young age- where that quickly transitioned to doing work on screen as well. I look for roles and projects that will forever push the boundaries and never focus on the "typical." I strive to bring characters to life and breathe them into genuinely authentic people.
I am also the lead singer and songwriter of the NYC Rock Band "Kill The Standards." Our debut album 'Lurking In The Dark' is currently on all platforms worldwide. KTS is recently back from a tour and we are now recording new music that will be released soon.
We also wrote the soundtrack for a film that I am forever blessed to be a part of "Flesh is Heir to." This film has made its way to The Nice International Film Festival where director Dale Johnson has won the "Best Director" award. I am also honored and humbled to be nominated for the "Best Supporting Actress In A Feature Film" award at The Madrid International Film Festival, Fusion Film Festivals- Southern Europe, Valencia this fall. I am also elated and humbled to have won the award for “Best Supporting Actress In A Feature Film” at Fusion International Film Festival: East Europe on December 19th 2020. "Flesh" has Been released worldwide on Prime Video HERE and will be releasing on more streaming services in 2021.
My Favorite Film/ TV credits include upcoming feature films Flesh is Heir to (Detective Charlie Black), Wait Til Dawn (Lydia), Love Drugs (Marks), Nobody Walks (Sam), Bandslam: Pilot (Keira). Favorite Theater credits include Clover (Dottie), Conversations With An Average Joe (Reporter), Hairspray (Penny Pingleton), Oliver! (Nancy), PIPPIN (The Leading Player.)
I am always looking for new and exciting projects where I can delve into new characters and bring these people to life. In love with characters who are ambitious, messy, gritty, adaptable, moody, hard hearted, but beautiful nonetheless. Those are the most real because all of us have a little of all of that in us. Available to discuss future work in films, print, and theater; whether it be acting, writing, directing, or modeling- feel free to contact below.
Post Production on the independent feature film Wait Til Dawn. Currently in production on 2 independent feature films. I'm also writing, directing, and starring in an Isolation Pictures original short film series that I am very excited about!
My band Kill The Standards is in pre-production on a music video and will be releasing new music shortly, as well.
